About the Competition

Join us Monday, April 22 at 7:00 p.m. for the Lumies Film Screenings and Awards Show in the OCC Chapel!

The OCC Art Collective invites students to express their creativity in writing, performing, shooting, and editing a short film in this 48-hour film festival.

Films were judged by a panel of professional film producers and discriminating film consumers. This festival is open to teams of OCC students, alumni, high school students, and the Joplin community.

The competition began Friday, April 19, when the theme was announced to registered teams. Teams had 48 hours from that time to write, shoot and edit a 3-5 minute film based on the theme and include five required elements.
