We're launching the UMDB 48-Hour Vertical Film Showcase this July, open to every creator who's ever wanted their work seen without an agent, a gatekeeper, or a permission slip. How it works: When the clock starts, you get 48 hours to write, shoot, and edit a short vertical film Vertical = the format built for how people actually watch now (phones, reels, full-screen, top to bottom) Your film goes live on UMDB for everyone to see Winners are decided by a mix of qualified judges and community votes, so it's both credible and in the hands of real people Why it's worth your weekend: A great vertical short can reach more people in 48 hours than a festival run reaches in a year Free to enter Prize: to be revealed (and it's worth showing up for) Happening this July. Exact dates dropping soon Spots are limited, and the waitlist goes first. Join the waiting list now at umdb.org and be first in when entries open. Tag a creator who needs to see this.
