SIFF Crash Student is a movie production challenge, taking participants from concept to screening in one day. It is about having fun, making a movie, and seeing it on the big screen. The script is developed on the spot by your Crash team (usually three to six people) and you design your story based on your team's resources. Come with your own team or find a team at SIFF. Crash Student is a non-competitive challenge.
