Calling All Filmmakers – Make a Movie in 2 Days!
The 48 Hour Film Project, a high-energy
filmmaking competition, will kick off its 2nd
annual Phoenix contest in just 5 weeks.
Filmmaking teams make a movie from scratch--
writing, shooting, and editing the 4-8 minute
films in one weekend.
On Friday, April 21, filmmakers will gather at
The Tavern on Mill, 401 S. Mill Ave. in Tempe.
Just before 7pm, teams draw their genre from a hat and receive a character, prop, and line of dialogue that must appear in the film.
On Sunday, April 23, teams race to submit their masterpieces by 7:30 pm, again at The Tavern on Mill.
Just days later, filmmaking teams will see their finished work on the big screen at the Pollack Tempe Cinemas at Elliot and McClintock.
The project is open to pros and amateurs alike. Teams will compete against each other to represent Phoenix in the “Best of 2006” city tour, which screens at the Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose. There will also be prizes for runners-up and categories such as directing and cinematography.
The 48 Hour Film Project is held in 32 cities in the US and around the world, including New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and Brisbane,
Australia. The 48 Hour Film Project’s mission is to support independent filmmakers and energize independent filmmaking communities.
