Remoto Film Fest
Passionate about film and visual storytelling? Have a unique vision that could change how the world sees scootering and its stories? RemotoFilm Fest is the place for your creativity. Take the initiative.
This festival is for passionate filmers, riders with an artistic eye and creatives looking to move beyond the traditional scooter video. At RemotoFilm Fest, we tell stories, rather than only placing tricks over music.
The challenge is to create a short or feature film with narrative, direction, production and editing that bring a new perspective alongside classic edits and full-length videos made of rider parts.
What makes RemotoFilm Fest unique?
- Take control of your vision. Make the project you've been thinking about. Become a director and writer, and tell a story beyond trick clips and music. Combine scootering action with powerful, visually compelling storytelling.
- A film challenge. Present a project with structure, a clear concept and quality production, whether a short film or a feature exploring scootering in depth.
- An inspiring community. Join filmers who share a passion for action sports and filmmaking, because filming is as important as riding.
- Recognition for talent. All projects will be shown at a premiere in Guadalajara. Two judges will evaluate them: one with knowledge of audiovisual art and one of riding difficulty and creativity. The top 3 projects will receive scooter parts and RemotoFilm.com discounts.
