WHAT THE FRICK IS  A BUMPER? 

A bumper is a short clip played between each piece of media during our film programming. Stating that you’re watching Eric’s Backyard Film Festival and what’s coming up next. This year, we’re opening up the creation of the bumpers to YOU! Can you make an epic bumper? Then it might be featured in this year’s program!

SUBMISSION  GUIDELINES

-Max 25 seconds 

INCLUDING 5 seconds of either static image space or a black screen 

-Must say the line “You’re watching Eric’s Backyard Film Festival and I’m voting for Eric!”

-Allow to be edited in whichever fashion we see fit. Unless the bumper is god-tier. We will be merging as many bumpers as we can to fit everyone. But if an influx is received, only the best will be included!
