Filmmaking Weekends

Vidjam’s 48-hour Filmmaking Weekends are an opportunity for filmmakers to collaborate on a 4-8 minute short film, all based on a common theme.

  • Past themes have included “Inner Demons”, “What Goes Up” and “Time After Time”.
  • We have hosted events in Harrisburg, Lancaster, York and online.
  • Films have been shot on iPhones, DSLRs, and even RED Cinema cameras.
  • First-time filmmakers and production companies have competed.
  • Our youngest filmmaker began at 10 years old!
  • Our Filmmaking Weekends began in 2015 and have been held annually ever since!
