"Not only do you have to judge how good a movie is, you also have to judge how good it is in its category," he said.
Each movie was judged on five aspects: content, aesthetics, technical excellence, story design and overall quality.
Conner Taylor, member of team "Stubble on Stubble" that won the Univ. Best Picture award last year, said he spent "every waking hour" working on movies for this year's CMF.
"I really like the week-long format though. I think it's a good time limit. It just kind of evens the playing ground a little bit."
Last year the Campus Movie Fest Finale screening brought 1,700 people to the Classic Center.
"It was an awesome night of students going crazy seeing themselves and their friends on the big screen," Roemer said.
A record 142 teams signed up at the University this year. Because no one knows if his or her movie will be in the top 16 until finale night, the number of attendees may be even higher this year.
"It's come a long way since that first event at Emory, but we think there's a long way to go, too," Roemer said.
