119 Minutes is not just a story — it’s a challenge. It’s a framework, a dare, and an invitation to every filmmaker, animator, writer, or creative. The structure is so tight, the premise so clear, that if you follow the rules, you’ll end up with your own unique version of an honest-to-goodness 119.

This isn’t Hollywood IP. It’s public domain. Anyone can make a 119. In fact, everyone should make a 119. Your 119 Minutes will look different to mine, and that’s the point. Maybe Spielberg does a sentimental one. Maybe Tarantino makes it a blood-soaked western. Maybe Pixar animates it into clocks and sandwiches. Maybe you shoot it on your phone in a single room. As long as you follow the rules — it’s a 119.
