ChallengeTRINITY

We are delighted to announce the first ever Challenge TRINITY: One Shot Movie in One Day.

We have partnered with ARRI to offer Directors UK members the chance to shoot with a TRINITY holding an  ALEXA LF or ALEXA Mini with Signature Prime lenses, and to be teamed up with experienced, top-notch TRINITY operators. 

What we’re looking for

• A story that can be told in one uninterrupted shot
• A project that would benefit from a truly cinematic, large-format look 
• An idea that can be realised and ready for a special screening by Friday 11 January 2019 

If you have an idea for a short, teaser, commercial, music video, experimental or art film that fits this description then what are you waiting for? 

To apply, you will need to email a brief outline (2 sides max.) detailing your vision and why it is appropriate for the competition, including genre, synopsis, duration as well as any attached cast or crew to [email protected] with the subject line Challenge TRINITY by Friday 26 October 2018. 

A panel made up of members of the Directors UK Board, and staff of the member services team will then select projects from these submissions to go into production.

To see what an ALEXA TRINITY is all about, watch the Challenge ALEXA-winning film Prawn by director Nicola Quilter. The long opening shot of this wonderful short film was created using a TRINITY, and you can watch the full film here.
