More InfoNo Sleep ’Til Film Fest is back for its sixth year!
From January 8–10, 2027, filmmakers around the world will have just 48 hours to write, shoot, edit, and submit an original short film.
One weekend. One challenge. Very little sleep.
This year, we're welcoming Extraction franchise director Sam Hargrave as a special guest judge, joining returning judges, Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, Michael Disco, Kassee Whiting, Ari Costa and more to be announced. Plus, Red Bull is joining the action as a sponsor, helping fuel another weekend of nonstop creativity.
Six years in, NSTFF has brought together filmmakers from more than 60 countries, and we're ready to see what this year's teams bring to the screen.
Grab your crew, stock up on caffeine, and get ready for the most caffeinated weekend of your year.
