The winning film, "The Library," showcases a group of students studying in a library who decide to take a trip to the movie theater together, and was screened in Regal Cinemas locations nationwide beginning in May 2018. Like in the previous contest, RED also awarded the winning filmmakers with a RED RAVEN camera kit worth a retail value $14,999.95 and Ithaca College with a RED EPIC-W 8K S35 worth $35,895. Along with the main competition, this year the program partnered with Universal Pictures' film Blockers to introduce a brand new "Fan Favorite Award." Between March 9 and April 20, 2018, movie fans were able to vote for their favorite film out of the five finalists by sharing the film's personal hashtag on Twitter. Voters were also entered to win a year of free movies and concessions at Regal Cinemas in the Fan Favorite Sweepstakes. A controversy emerged during the voting period when professor Kathleen Stansberry from one of the finalist schools, Elon University, discovered an irregularity in the frequency of votes cast for the University of California, Los Angeles. Stansberry argued that bots were used to manipulate the voting in favor of Jessie Lee and Xinzhong "Golden" Zhao's film "Frozen in Time," which would be a violation of the contest's rules. The contest organizers were informed of the alleged vote manipulation and investigated the matter. Ultimately, the films of Elon University and University of California, Los Angeles were both shown in theaters nationwide. This marked Zhao's second contest in a row being a finalist, and also his second contest in a row having his film shown in theaters, despite not winning either contest. Coca-Cola Regal Films 2019 Contest In the 2019 contest, teams of student filmmakers from 30 different schools were required to submit scripts highlighting the entertaining and relaxing aspects of the movie-going experience, and the significance of Coca-Cola and popcorn in it, by October 5, 2018. The five selected finalist teams out of roughly 500 submissions were given $15,000 to produce their 35-second films (including the 5-second bumper). The finalists were given access to RED camera equipment and Zeiss lenses during the production process, and also worked with professional colorists at Deluxe's EFILM during the post-production process. This year, director and actress Olivia Wilde partnered with Coca-Cola Regal Films to mentor the student filmmaker finalists, serve on the Red Ribbon Panel, and ultimately announce the winning film.
