presents
NO MERCY, trial by screen.
Round 5
It’s like an open mic, for videos.
How It Works
• Random Submissions: Films and videos under 5 minutes are pulled from a bucket called the “Dojo Bowl.”
• The 60-Second Rule: The video is paused at 60 seconds and the judgment is handed over to the crowd.
• Crowd Verdict: At the one-minute mark, the audience votes live:
• Shouting “No Mercy!” cuts the video immediately.
• Shouting “Mercy!” allows the screening to continue.
• Feedback & Prizes: Surviving projects face an interview with a rotating panel of industry guests, and the night’s winner takes home a custom champion’s gi.
