LFC YTH Lock_In Vol. 3

🎬 The Main Event: Video Festival Lock-In 2026

Get ready for a Hollywood takeover! This year, we’re moving from the kitchen to the director’s chair for our first-ever Youth Group Video Festival.

We’re turning the entire church into a movie studio. You and your crew will have just a few hours to script, film, and edit a masterpiece using secret props and mandatory lines. The night ends with a high-stakes Red Carpet Premiere in the sanctuary to see who takes home the "Gold."

🎮 The Studio "Backlot" (What’s Included)

When you aren't on set, the lobby and youth room are your "Green Rooms" for the night:

• The Hub: Multiple video game stations set up for open play and late-night tournaments.
• Craft Services: A constant flow of fresh pizza, savory snacks, and a massive sweet bar to keep the energy up.
• The Edit Suite: Charging stations and quiet zones to finalize your films before the 1:00 AM deadline.

📋 The Production Schedule

• 9:00 PM: Check-in & Team Assignments
• 9:30 PM: The "Pitch": Pick your genre, props, and secret lines.
