The Gala screening and party taking place on Saturday, Feb 27^th. Tickets are now available!

For ticket information please visit Crazy8s.film!

Crazy8s is run by the Crazy8s Film Society, a not-for-profit society.  It was created to foster support for emerging filmmakers who have little or no access to funding for short films.

Crazy8s is currently looking for $2,500 in support. This goes toward the general operating costs of running Crazy8s including everything from insurance, equipment costs, publicity and advertising to venue rentals to part of the funds that go to each team.

Donating to Crazy8s means that you will be contributing to a reputable non-profit society and to the cultural landscape of Vancouver and BC.

The Highest Donor will get a one night stay at the Sandman Hotel in downtown with a minimum donation of $100. If a tie, a name will be drawn.

Furthermore, everyone who donates will have his/her name thanked in the Gala program and if you donate $100 or more projected on the screen at the Feb 27th Gala Screening for an audience of potentially 1,700 people.
