After years of competing in various timed competitions for far away fellowships, worthless certificates and of course the "ever awesome" bragging rights we, at The 50 Fifty Reel Challenge, recognize the need for winning filmmakers to walk away with more than just their boosted pride. In fact, we're putting money where our mouth is... in your hands! That being said, we are giving away 50% of the box office sales of your city to the Best Film!
