The festival aimed to encourage and celebrate vertical video content created on smartphones. The call for entries was made on the Josh app for short films across genres like rom coms, musicals, comedy, action, fashion, drama and travel, all within the time span of a minute.
The entries were judged by Farah Khan, Kunal Kohli and Prabhu Deva who also attended the grand finale with other celebrities like Dino Morea, rappers Badshah and Raftaar, Vivek Oberoi, Urvashi Rautela, Amal Malik and Suniel Shetty.
The final event was hosted by Oberoi, Rautela and influencer Faisal Shaikh.
