The festival’s founder, veteran Hollywood producer and Winchester resident, Don Daniel, believes that every story has a beginning, middle and end, and that creative people can tell their stories in sixty seconds or less, With image capturing devices so commonplace, why not use them to tell a story?
There is one Grand Prize and special prizes for those over 18 years and others for the youth – those under 18 years. There are additional prizes from participating cities and towns. There is no entry fee.
