Shock Till You Drop and Tentsquare Announce Fantasia Bumper Challenge!

For nearly 20 years, Montreal’s Fantasia International Film Festival has been an integral space for fantastic and genre cinema. Rowdy audiences are spurred on by rowdier filmmakers, who’re often pushing, prodding, scaring and very much entertaining with their art. Industry, artists and fans converge, so it stands to believe you’d want them to see your work, too, right?

Alongside Fantasia, Tentsquare—the social network for talent discovery, creative challenges and Crowd Powered Entertainment™—and Go Puck, Shock Till You Drop announces the Fantasia Bumper Challenge. Tentsquare members (sign up here) submit a bumper up-to-30 seconds long. No dialogue. Must include the image of a cat or cats as part of the narrative or within the imagery of the bumper.

10 Finalists, as chosen by the Judges, will receive 1 VIP All Access Filmmaker Badge to Fantasia and see their bumpers screen before features at the festival. 1 Winner will receive Airfare, 2 Nights Accommodations and VIP All Access Filmmaker Badge to Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal or $300 (Winner’s Choice), and a Go Puck 5x Wearable Power™.

Who’s judging? A terrific lineup including Fantasia International Film Festival Director / International Programmer, Mitch Davis, Author and Editor-in-Chief Spectacular Optical, Kier-La Janisse; May and All Cheerleaders Die Writer/Director, Lucky McKee; Shock Till You Drop’s own Managing Editor Samuel Zimmerman; and TentSquare / Modernciné Founder, Film Producer Andrew van den Houten.
