What the event is about:
The short video showdown (SVS) is truly the most difficult and intense film contest in the history of film competition! The SVS is an annual Houston based film contest hosted by HFPC, where the very best speed film producers gather to see who is The Best in The West. Teams will have only 6 hours to write, shoot, and edit a short video, with a minimum length of 7 minutes, and present it at the end of the night. A very prestigious panel of Judges will score each film on ten categories and award the winner of the 2027 Short Video Showdown.
​
The winning team will receive a very generous CASH PRIZE, The highly coveted Short Video Showdown Championship Trophy, and The SVS Championship rings and medals for all team members.
We even have awards for the best cinematographer (A.K.A The most valuable camera slinger), The Star Performer (best actor), and The Best Editor.

THE CURRENT SHORT VIDEO SHOWDOWN CHAMPIONS
​
This was a true Cinderella Story as Team Creative Junkies recapture their crowns as the very top Speed Filmmaking Team in The West! They over came losing most of their team to injuries and only competed with three team members! The story they told in their film shocked the audience and judge's out of their seats and even produced tears in the crowd. And their Team Captain Molly Buffham gave an on screen performance that will go down in SVS history!! Congrats to Team Creative Junkies as The SVS Champs once again!
