Catch+Release presents
FOUND FILM FESTIVAL 2025
Make a 2-minute film about Human Kindness using only Found Content.
Deadline: Dec 1.
Catch+Release invites editors, assistant editors, and aspiring editors to cut a short film using nothing but Found Content from our Creator Community. No shoots. No stock. Just real clips from all over the world — free to use for this contest.
100 Found Content Prompts
Prompting is an art. Below you’ll find 100 prompts to get you started exploring our Creator Community Marketplace. Some prompts are emotional. Some are weird. All of them can spark a story about Human Kindness.
Why Enter?
The Trophy:
First off, there’s the trophy. It’s going to look so good in your edit bay. Or in the background of your zooms. We might just make it a sick gold lamé jacket.
The Fame:
Your film will be featured on Catch+Release socials, giving you instant LinkedIn cred.
The Knowledge:
Win or lose, you’ll learn how useful and surprising Found Content can be. And how easy it is to curate, save and download using the Catch+Release platform.
