The Tri-Fi 72 Hour Film Challenge is an event where filmmaking teams are tasked with creating a short film, including writing, shooting, and editing, within a 72-hour timeframe. Organized in conjunction with the TRIFI International Film Festival, the challenge provides participants with specific instructions, props, or lines that must be included in their final product. Films are typically a maximum of five minutes in length and are judged by a professional panel, with awards given in various categories, including a People's Choice Award. The challenge is open to all competitors, including amateur aspiring filmmakers.
