THE ONE FILM AWAY CHALLENGE
Can YOU create a cinematic travel film in just 7 days?
This is not a course. This is a filmmaking mission.
One week. One story. One final film.
You’ll be dropped into a 7-day creative sprint with filmmakers from around the world.
Every day unlocks a new task. Every decision counts.
At the end of the week, you submit your 1-minute film.
We review, we watch, we vote…
And one filmmaker wins the prize.
10 Creators. 7 days. One winner.
At the end of the challenge, one creator is chosen as the One Film Away Champion, and wins a FREE seat to a future Filmmaker Challenge abroad.
You choose the destination:
Marrakesh
Tokyo
Santa Teresa
Rio deJaneiro
You’ll be joining a real filmmaking expedition, on location, shooting cinematic stories in one of the most visually insane places on Earth.
Your film becomes your passport.

Meet Your Hosts: Félix & Marina
We’re Félix and Marina, a full-time filmmaking duo who’ve spent the last few years travelling the world, creating videos for hotels, tourism boards, adventure brands, and global companies.
We built our careers the same way you’re about to start yours: one film, one trip, one opportunity at a time.
We’ve filmed in over 25 countries, from Costa Rica to Morocco, from island resorts to mountain villages, often arriving somewhere new with no contacts, no plan, and one mission: find a story and bring it to life.
That experience is now the foundation of the Filmmaker Challenge.
We’re here to guide you, support you, challenge you, and give you the tools we wish we had when we started.
No theory. No ego. Just filmmaking, adventure, and real creative growth.
If you’re ready to take the leap, we’re ready to lead the way.
