Online Filmfest
The Game
Forced isolation and the subsequent cancellation of many forms of go-to entertainment venues has been a real shock to the system, but adversity breeds innovation. Thankfully, current circumstances have also brought about a very welcomed increase to the volume of people wanting to share hilarious online content of themselves.
Lip-syncing classic songs, daily isolation video updates, new lockdown themed song lyrics to old songs; the creative juices are flowing!
These videos offer a distraction, some sunshine and humour during these crazy times. They are a way for us to connect with our friends and colleagues and keep our minds off what we read in the news.
With all this in mind we have created the Online Film Fest event that to uncover the hidden talents and comics in your team, you’ll also be delighted and surprised at how so many non-gregarious people find a way of to shine in this challenge. This is a way for the team to communicate and share their thoughts and feelings with each other in a unique and fun way.

How Online Filmfest works
The challenge is for your team to create a short video based on a particular theme or genre. They can use whatever device or app they wish to create their masterpiece and they will the need to submit their film for to our team to review before the deadline, whether that’s two days or two weeks.
To showcase the talents of the team, we preselect a suitable time and date for the screening. Via Zoom, we will then showcase the best films. Individuals will only know if their film is a finalist on screening night. Once all films have been screened we then run an awards ceremony where we will announce the winners of several categories from ‘best actress’ to ‘best film’. This event is one of our most popular offline events and we are excited for teams to experience the joy and wow-factor of the online version. It’s so good to see your colleagues in such a different light.
This event can play out in a multitude of formats. Perhaps we are recreating famous films, we could be asking participants to create a documentary or mockumentary of their life working from home. We could ask a collective group of participants to film themselves lip-syncing to a popular song. We take all videos and cut them together to make a hilarious feel good video clip of the entire song. Everyone’s cameo will be featured at some point and some of the more gregarious performers getting a starring role for going the extra mile. For larger teams submitting their own Tik-Toks is also a possibility.
We really are only limited by our imagination with this online activity, so if you have an idea that you feel is crazy and you are not sure if you can pull it off, we want to hear from you!
Why brands, teams, friends, and family can’t get enough of Great Race!
We used the Great Race once for a team building day and then just a few weeks later for a student engagement event because our crew had such a good time during our first booking! Brett was a legend at booking us in at pretty short notice both times and looked after all the details we requested! Zac was an excellent host on both occasions and all our participants both times had a blast, connected with each other and all around loved it! Highly recommend this company whose staff obviously love what they do and deliver a great experience!

A fantastic team building experience that everyone loved...all 140 of us! The hosts were charismatic and engaging, making it a super fun event. Our activities were built around our business and conference theme which made it very relative but in the most fun way! Thanks Great Race team!

We had an absolute blast from start to finish. The session was packed with fast-paced minigames, fun trivia rounds, and plenty of laughs that encouraged everyone to sometimes step outside their comfort zones in the best way possible. What stood out most was how inclusive and engaging the experience was – people of all personalities got involved and genuinely had a great time.

We had Great Race run an event for students and it was a huge success! We loved the challenges, the bonuses and the way everything was set up. Everyone had an incredible time, and it was just so much fun. Brett in particular helped us immensely with organizing the event. He was great at identifying exactly what we needed and was very friendly and approachable. Samm was the one who ran the event and she did so well! She was sweet and full of energy. Overall it was organized and executed incredibly well.

We used Great Race for an International Student event for our university, a fun way to explore their new home. The students who attended had an absolute ball, and many said it exceeded their expectations. Most students didn't know each other, but the interactive nature of the activity allowed them to engage easily. Brett and the team made it easy for us and organised everything for the day. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to organise a fun event that is a little bit different.

Just wanted to personally thank you for the session you and your team provided at the U@UNSW conference. It really met all our boxes and aligned with my debrief. Its especially refreshing to partner with an organisation who just get it without the need for micro-management. So… THANK YOU. I look forward to working with you guys again in the future.
