“Make-a-Movie” Film Festival
There’s nothing quite like a camera to bring out peoples’ expressive side. And nothing like movie making to bring your team together and get them working as a team.
In this highly involving cinematic adventure, participants are divided into groups representing competing film production companies. The challenge: create the next Hollywood blockbuster. In some ways, making movies with teambonding is a lot like doing it in the real world – each team has cameras, a budget and a deadline. After a short briefing, everybody gets down to business. Teams need to allocate themselves to the many roles required to produce a hit movie. Who will be the actors? Who’s going to direct? And what about a camera operator, props and costumes, even a movie-house marketing group? Clearly, serious teamwork will be essential for success in this anything-but-serious event.
The excitement is contagious as each team screens their masterpiece for the rest of the group. It’s fun. It’s funny. And you can literally stand back and watch people loosen up, genuine smiles bubbling to the surface. It all comes to a delightful climax with a glitzy award ceremony, hosted by none other than Bill Colons, esteemed head of the Canned Academy Committee.
And the winner is…
