RADAPTATIONS!

Based on your feedback, our next event will be an adaptation style event titled RADAPTATIONS! Teams will have two weeks to create their own adaptation of a public domain work.

OFFICIAL RULES

How Does It Work?

At sign-ups, teams will have the option to either choose their Source Material or their Genre.  Based on whether you chose your source or genre, the other will be randomly drawn. 

What Is The Public Domain And What's In It?

The public domain is any creative work that is not protected by intellectual property laws, and there are thousands of notable works, including the complete works of William Shakespeare, Roman and Greek Mythology, and novels such as The Great Gatsby, Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and many (many) more! There are lots of films, stage plays and characters also in the public domain, but be sure to check their status with Cinemadrome first.

What Is A Radaptation?

A radaptation is NOT a swede (though the janky low/no-budget style is always welcome at Cinemadrome).  Special effects and post production methods are allowed! Using the source material as much or as little as you want, the idea is to create a completely new film of your own creation based upon the original work. The inclusion of a genre will help you guide how different (or samey) your adaptation is. The possibilities are truely endless!

The Details

Sign-ups will begin on Thursday, June 30, 2022, at 6pm. Teams can sign-up at the Backyard with a Cinemadrome representative or by completing an online sign-up form.  Teams will then have two weeks to complete their film with the submission deadline being July 14, 2022, at 10pm. The live screening will then be held at The Backyard on July 23, 2022, at 8pm.

This event is free to enter and filmmakers of all levels are always welcome.   Contact us if you have questions!
