MFA Winter Film Challenge Maine Film Association ALL AGES Maine Film Association Presents the Winter Film Challenge at Space! MARCH 12: 2022 MFA Winter Film Challenge In February 2022, teams of filmmakers from across Maine braved the winter chill to write, shoot, and edit original short films in only 72 hours. Assigned a requisite prop (playing cards), line of dialogue ("It's not what it looks like"), and genre, the teams tackled this creative challenge to produce 20 unique visual stories.
