Get Made

Get Made is a film contest held by Tar City Productions in which writers submit their original short scripts to be produced by Tar City Productions.

The contest was first held in 2017 with three original submissions which premiered at One Night Stand in 2018.

Development
The concept was created by Fritz Bishop after wrapping production on Grim, conceived as an opportunity for aspiring writers to develop and produce their ideas for a short film while training new actors and crew members during post-production on the most recent feature length film.

The writers completed weekly workshops and revisions to their scripts before scouting locations, gathering production resources, recruiting crew members, and casting actors. Each production was provided with all the necessary equipment, a camera operator, audio technician, and production manager. All participating projects were permitted to film a total of 12 hours over one or two days and restricted from scheduling re-shoots. Actors and crew members largely consisted of seasoned city slickers who have appeared in at least one previous Tar City production.
