Outrunners, bring your mad graphics skills to Cyberpunk Now

Hi!

I’m leading the team organizing The Cyberpunk Now Film Festival as part of Hackers On Planet Earth 2020.

This is a live film festival, where participants must make their films during the event.

We only have a few days until the event starts, and I'm trying to get the word out. More participants is more fun.

We're not trying to make a huge profit from submission fees. The submission fee is a speed bump to prevent low quality submission spamming. This is more of a volunteer-run thing, just fun for the community. When I heard HOPE was going virtual for coronavirus, I wanted to help make something interesting that people could do from home.

You get a discount if you pre-register, and submissions are free if you’re also participating in HOPE.

On July 25th we will publish top-secret "required challenge elements" that have to be included in the projects (meant to establish a level playing field), and then participants will have 5 days to make a film.

The thinking is that we're very much living in a world predicted by the cyberpunk literature of the 80s and 90s, and so much of what was science fiction is now routine or the chaotic backdrop of our daily life. So, what better time to help people express themselves through this sort of channel?

Please help us get the word out about the event, and absolutely please participate. Even if you don't participate, definitely tune in on August 2nd for a screening of the winners in the HOPE livestream (not sure what time yet).
