The Best of the 72-Hour Film Challenge: A Screening of Audience Favorites

A decade of bad decisions, no sleep, and accidental brilliance.

We're raiding the vault and pulling the most iconic, chaotic, and absolutely unhinged audience favorites from every year of the 72-Hour Film Challenge. These are the films people still talk about… sometimes proudly, sometimes with mild PTSD.

Expect geniuses running on no sleep, actors who definitely didn’t know what they signed up for, and plots held together with duct tape and desperation. Comedy, horror, heartfelt weirdness. You’ll get it all, whether you want it or not.

Mike, Juliet and Aramis will guide you through the madness, provide emotional support, and possibly apologize on behalf of the filmmakers.

Come laugh, cringe, and celebrate the beautiful mess that is Key West filmmaking.

Featuring audience-favorite films made, directed, and starring Key West filmmakers…and yes, you probably know someone in one of them.

Tickets: $20
