A TASTE OF OUR PREVIOUS COMPETITIONS.
“Run N Gun was the perfect testing ground to level-up my filmmaking skills in a competition setting. The final gala itself was beyond my wildest dreams. To see your work acknowledged by both peers and mentors alike - it’s incredible...it ended up opening doors for me as a filmmaker - from companies reaching out wanting to offer resources for future projects, to filmmakers I admire wanting to watch our film. ”
