CC7D CELL PHONE PROJECT FAQs
Who can participate?
Anyone! Seriously, anyone. If you’re under 18, you just need a parent or guardian to sign off on the paperwork. Paperwork will be posted online soon.
How do I create a CC7D team?
Easy.
-
Find some people your trust (friends, family, classmates, colleagues, your neighbor's super cool cousin).
-
Pick a team name.
Volunteer at the event – Be part of the action behind the scenes.​
The easiest way? Start your own team. If you don’t, show up at the Kickoff event and find a team that needs you.
​
I’ve never made a film before, and I’m terrified people will think it’s awful. Should I enter anyway?
First of all—yes. Second, if you've ever posted a TikTok, Reel, or Story, you’re already making video content. A ton of CC7D teams are first-timers, and this is your chance to just go for it. No one’s throwing rotten fruit (we promise).
​
What can my film be about?
Whatever you want! You pick the genre, write the script, and bring the vision to life! The only rule? You cannot start any creative work prior to the Kick-Off event on March 12.
What's stopping people from cheating and starting early?
We've got a built-in cheat code blocker: The Essential Elements. Every team receives a required character, line of dialogue, and prop at the Kick-Off event. These must be included in the film.
But honestly, the real reason? Honor. CC7D is all about the challenge - and sticking to the seven day creative work window is all part of the fun. Keep it real. Keep it fair. And make something awesome!
Does my entire film have to be shot on a cell phone?
For the CC7D Cell Phone Project, 100% of your film footage must be shot on your cell phone - no fancy cameras, no exceptions. However, you can edit your film using any software you want. Whether you edit on your phone, tablet, or desktop, is totally up to you. Just make sure that every single shot comes from your mobile device.
Does sound have to be from the phone's mic only?
External mics and other sound devices are allowed, so the sound does not have to come from the phone’s mic only.
