Geneseo Insomnia Film Festival
The GIFF Overlords, in an attempt to preserve the health and well-being of our INSOMNIACS! have decided to once again to postpone the 9th Annual GIFF. Until sanity and safety are restored we refuse to put you at risk. Stay safe and that know we miss you.
You and your team have 24 hours to write, shoot, edit and post a 3-minute video... GO! Your team will compete for prizes against other SUNY Geneseo students in an attempt to incorporate three elements (from a list provided by the GIFF Overlords) into the most witty, interesting, and compelling video. This is a chance for students of all talents to flex their creative muscles and demonstrate a variety of skills, whether they be writers, actors, videographers, or editors. Rally the troops and get started!

- Cinematography: Was the the video visually compelling?
- Story: How well written, thought-out and portrayed is the story being told using the elements provided?
