The Rules of the Game were:
Films must be no shorter than 3, and no longer than 10 minutes. Films must be made where you are currently quarantining, and contain at least two shots from your place of isolation. Films must be addressed to a single entity, be it real or imagined. It is up to you to determine what a film letter can be. Emotional veracity is everything. Rules are made to be broken.
