Russo Brothers’ AGBO Announces Return of ‘No Sleep ‘Till Film Fest’ Short Film Challenge – Film News in Brief
variety.comAnthony Russo-backed production company AGBO has announced the return of the fourth consecutive “No Sleep ‘Till Film Fest.” The two-day festival challenges participants to make films that are three minutes or less for a chance to win prizes and receive ongoing mentorship from the independent studio.
The top three winners receive a filmmaking prize package with essential resources and “best-in-class” equipment for future filmmaking opportunities.
They will also join the AGBO Storytellers Collective, an alumni network of winners from other AGBO-sponsored festivals and fellowship programs such as the Russo Brothers Italian American Filmmaker Forum and the Slamdance Film Festival Fellowship — the same festival the Russos received their start at in 1997 as emerging filmmakers.
In the past three years of the festival, “No Sleep ’til Film Fest” received over 2000 submissions from over 60 countries. 2023 winners included “Time of Your Life” directed by Darren Hinchy (Canada), “Just a Sec!” directed by Tanya Lialina and Teodor Klimov (Georgia), and “02:00 Minutes” directed by Grace McLeod (US).
