Challenge

​Instead of asking you to develop a story, write a short script and film it, I'm going to give you the theme.  This is based on the MusicBed-Reopen Challenge sponsored by FilmSupply.  
​
You are going to create a short film (30 seconds to 2 minutes) that "helps the world open their eyes to a new future - both economically and culturally - to tell stories you believe that will impact culture for the better as we move forward.  Think of this as a mini documentary.

So think about how this plays out in your own neighborhood.  Maybe its a long closed business that's reopened, kids in a playground, etc.

Remember you need a creative narrative (what ONE thing is your film about) and you need A roll (main action) and B roll (establishing shots and transitions).
