OFFICAL NEWS: The usage of Generative Artificial Intelligence may be used in the Schoolcraft Film Challenge as long as the majority of the film is created manually using traditional filmmaking methods. Films that are completely created or heavily created using AI will still be shown (as long as other requirements are met), however, they are NOT eligible for Best of Show, Best Usage of Prop, or Best Usage of Line of Dialog. They may be eligible for Audience Choice Award or if judges deem appropriate, a unique AI award, or similar.📡🎥⏱️
