THIS IS NOT A CLASS.
THIS IS A PRODUCTION!
From August 1–8, 2026, JCFilms Studios will produce three vertical films, all shot in Las Vegas and the surrounding desert.
Every participant is cast in all three films.
-
Three separate projects
-
Three different story worlds
-
Three IMDb credits
-
One cohesive, high-level production experience
You won’t be watching from the sidelines.
You’ll be on set, on camera, and part of a working ensemble cast.
WHY VERTICAL WEEK EXISTS
The film industry is changing fast. Vertical storytelling is no longer experimental, it’s where audiences are watching, engaging, and discovering new talent. Platforms are hungry for vertical content that feels cinematic, emotional, and intentional.
JCFilms Studios is stepping forward to lead in this new space, not by theory, but by doing. This is about preparing storytellers for where film is going without abandoning what makes film matter.
"This is an ensemble experience designed so everyone participates, everyone appears, and everyone leaves with something tangible."
WHAT YOUR WEEK ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE
You’ll arrive in Las Vegas and check into the same resort hotel as the entire cast and crew. From there, the week becomes a rhythm of filmmaking, collaboration, and connection.
Each day unfolds inside the heart of production, with active filming on multiple projects, rotating roles, shared meals with cast and crew, and downtime shaped by the rhythm of the shoot, because you’re not visiting a set, you’re living inside it.
"Vertical Week isn’t just about making three films. It’s about being part of a moment where storytelling, technology, and opportunity intersect."
