The Can of Nothing Film Challenge is where we challenge ourselves to create a film in 72 hours! How is that hard? We ask all of you viewers out there to make it complicated! How do you do that? We ask you to participate by submitting suggestions for things you'd like the movie to be about/see in the movie.

We ask that you suggest three things:
- a genre
- a line of dialogue
- 2 props for us to use in the movie

When the challenge begins, we'll gather all of the suggestions, and randomly select the genre, lines of dialogue and props as suggested by you guys! Then we'll have to create a film that includes all of those selections. Fun!

To participate, join our forums and post your suggestions in the appropriate thread. There's also a thread to ask any questions you have about the film challenge.
