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!
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.

Please extend my thanks to Josh and Brett and the crew that ran our excursion last week. It was a great day and everyone who participated, students and teachers continue to rave it was great fun! Accessible, comprehensive, well times and professionally ran. Words can not really do justice to how great it was. Given our rapture with the program we will be making this an annual event.

I would love to convey how fantastic the day was, Brett and staff provided perfect activities/challenges and a level of energy which started the day with a bang. We took with us to Southbank 150 students with very cynical attitudes and what the experience helped generate is a mountain of new friendships, faith and trust in each other and a spirit of confidence and social cohesion I have been trying to achieve all year.

I organised the amazing race for a Hens party and what a blast it was! The challenges were fun, cheeky and exciting and bought out the competitive side in all of us. The memories we made that afternoon will never be forgotten. Our host on the day Antony was awesome. From the time of enquiry to the day of the event, Vanessa, was friendly, patient and very professional and made sure it all ran smoothly. Thank you! I would highly recommend this company if you’re looking for a fun activity for any event!

The Great Race hosted a double hen’s party for my friends (in Sydney). It was beyond amazing. Organising the race was so easy and they really listened to all of my requests – making the event Bride vs Bride with larger groups, taking into the girls’ competitive nature and emphasising the little ways to cheat. The day itself was fantastic. It was lightly raining but ponchos were provided. Everyone was set up for a day of fun by our host, Skylar. He did a fantastic job of making everyone welcome and setting the mood. My team lost by only a few points and I can really say that this didn’t dampen the mood at all. What an adventure 🙂 🙂 Thank you so so much for everything. The brides and all the hens guests had so much fun!

We did a Great Race as part of a hen’s night and it was a terrific day. Completely exceeded my expectations!! Very well organised and a lot of planning had been done to make it a fun interactive day. We all had such a great time. I definitely recommend. Our host Gabe was hilarious, full of energy and make sure we had smiles on our faces all day. Thanks Gabe and the Great Race team! Top day!!
