The Buckle Up Challenge is a free, open call competition for writers and creatives of all backgrounds. Each month, we release a new writing prompt and simple production guidelines to help you craft a story that can realistically be brought to life on film.

Once submissions close, all entries are presented to our Patreon Architects, who vote to determine the finalists (the number of finalists may vary based on total submissions). Then the finalists will be brought to our community on live stream, where our Twitch Subscribers will be able to vote for their favorite.

The winning story is then produced live on stream — from first read to final cut — showing every step of the film-making process in real time.
