The Capital City Film Festival's Fortnight Film Contest is a two-week competition for amateur, student, and professional filmmakers in Michigan. Teams are given three required elements to include in their films, which must be 10 minutes or less. At least one of the major creative positions must be filled by a Michigan resident, and the film must be shot and edited in Michigan. The contest is held annually in March, with cash prizes totaling $5,000 or more.
