With over a billion users worldwide, there is no denying that Tik Tok has taken the social media world by storm.  What started off as a platform for young people to record short dance routines has quickly become a powerful storytelling tool for a generation of increasingly short attention spans.  Now you can see 1-minute snippets of a story, and if it catches your attention, you find yourself clicking on part 2, which is the next 1-minute continuation, and part 3 and so on.

For traditional storytellers it poses a unique challenge: is 60 seconds enough to capture the attention of a viewer enough that they want to watch more and more 60 second segments to get the complete story? This is the challenge we are posing to you.

We want you to write and record a short film for Tik Tok, divided into maximum 3x 1 minute segments Open Screenplay Tik Tok account.  The best screenplay will receive money to produce the short, and the top performing short will receive a top prize of $1,000 USD.
