A horror trailer—”Vacant”—won the top prize in our Instagram Close-up Video Contest.  Directed by Oliver Richards, the one-minute teaser trailer previews an as-yet-to-be-produced feature film.

The contest challenged mobile filmmakers to create a video—60 seconds or less—that included at least one memorable close-up. Entries came from eight countries.

You can see Richards’ entry here and read an interview with the director, who created the film entirely by himself. For his effort, Richards received Storyboard Quick visualization software.

The Special Jury Award went to Giacomo Tinti  for “Nostalgia.”

Our next Instagram contest will be announced on November 1.
