Showdown in Chinatown Championship

The popular Showdown in Chinatown filmmaking event is turning one! To celebrate, event organizers are hosting a FREE Review this Friday, 11/3 from 6-8pm at NextDoor (43 N. Hotel St.) to showcase winning films from the past year. At the end of the Review, the Showdown in Chinatown Championship challenge will be announced. This time, scrappy local filmmakers will have a full week to shoot their films, instead of the usual 24 hours.

The winning film will get $1000!
