The finalist videos will be shown at the exclusive screening event on Thursday, November 5, 2015 from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Attendees will vote in real-time to select one winner from both the Short Form and the Action Cam film categories to be named the OPTIMA Ultimate Film of 2015.


The first-annual OPTIMA Ultimate Film Festival challenged enthusiasts across the country to submit their most exciting and powerful performance automotive content for two categories: Short Form and Action Cam. The Short Form category films feature a story or documentary about the performance vehicle enthusiast passion and hobby and are less than ten minutes long. The Action Cam films feature a performance moment demonstrating a performance vehicle in action in two minutes or less, shot exclusively on POV action cams.
