The concept is simple: if you give multiple production teams the same script and a week to prepare, how different are the results? Over the last eleven years of KWLT's March Madness, the answer has proven to be "really different!", and we're going to show you how different in the twelfth edition of our ultimate theatrical competition.

March Madness 2021

February 1, 2021

KWLT’s ultimate theatrical competition is back, and this time it’s mad! And by “mad” we mean “online”.

In response to These Times, March Madness is reinventing itself. Teams will be given a short silent film, and they’ll have two weeks to decide what it’s about and provide an audio track: dialogue, effects, even music. They’ll audition their actors the day after they get the footage, and then it’s on!

The March Madness event will be run entirely online, but will look pretty familiar: we’ll screen the films, the filmmaking team will chat about their process, and then the adjudicator will tell us all what they think.

This event is presented entirely for free (but donations are welcome). When the time comes you’ll find the live stream on our YouTube channel.
