Since 2007, the Corpus Christi 7 Day Film Project (CC7D) has challenged local filmmakers to think fast, collaborate, and bring original stories to life in just one week. What began as a creative challenge has grown into a longtime Coastal Bend tradition that celebrates both emerging and experienced filmmakers while helping strengthen the region’s film community. From directors and writers to actors and crew members, the project provides hands-on experience, portfolio-building opportunities, and a platform to showcase local talent. Check out this year’s schedule of screenings, events, and celebrations at House of Rock and Alamo Drafthouse – Corpus Christi:
