The Challenge: Each film needs to be 40.0 seconds in length or shorter, express something extraordinary, and include the end title card available here: http://raindance.tv/extraordinary/brief

There are two sets of prizes up for grabs. First prize will be awarded to the film that is judged by the “Welcome to the Extraordinary” judging panel, with a second prize going to the film that generates the most views on Youtube.
The Second prize winner will receive two tickets to the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) after-show party
