On December 16th, 2022, The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute held it’s first annual 3×5 Film Competition! Founded as a celebration of the creative spirit, The Lee Strasberg 3×5 Film Competition is a unique platform that values the innovation of up-and-coming talent and celebrates cinematic creativity. Participants were given a story prompt and had just five days to create a three minute short film, culminating in a screening and award ceremony open to the public. Hosted at LSTFI’s Marilyn Monroe Theatre in West Hollywood, California, the ceremony honored filmmakers with cash prizes, festival laurels, and other honors.
Thank you to all the participating filmmakers, our distinguished panel of judges, and our wonderful audience for making this inaugural event such a success.
