A Stoodiohub festival

Backyard Blockbusters

An online festival for fan films and passion projects, shown to an audience that actually loves them. Enter your film, get it seen, and vote for the ones that deserve a trophy.

Entries are opening soon. Leave your email on the festival site to hear first.

How it works

Enter

Fan films of any franchise, or original passion projects. Films come in as a YouTube or Vimeo link, so there's nothing big to upload.

Get seen

The best are shortlisted and shown in an online screening.

Vote

Public voting is always free. One award, the People's Award, is decided entirely by the public vote.

The categories

The opening line-up, with more to come.

Best Film

Story, pace and performances, any franchise or an original idea.

Best VFX

Making the impossible look easy on a fan-film budget.

Best Fight Choreography

Judged on clarity, timing and how good it feels to watch.

Best Props & Costume

Built, sewn, painted and weathered by hand.

Best Performance

The acting that sells it, lead or ensemble.
