TIPS

The following aren't rules—just helpful suggestions to guide you in the right direction.

The use of the line and the villain character can't be an afterthought. The line needs to make sense in the context of your story, and the villain character needs to be a major part of your plot. You could have the best made film in the contest, but if you just throw in the line and character in there without any thought, you will not win this contest.

You can choose any genre you want for your film, but whatever genre you choose, make something that's exciting and fun to watch. Christmas is supposed to be fun, so try not to be boring.

Good technical skills will help you a lot. While this isn't the most important thing, having good editing, cinematography, acting, and sound, will go a long way. So if you have some great skills, or know anyone with some great skills, make sure you put them to good use.
