48 Hour Film Festival - This Weekend!!

[Rachel Galvin]

The Miami 48 Hour Film Project

The 48 Hour Film Project comes to Miami on the weekend of August 1. Filmmakers from all over the Miami area will compete to see who can make the best short film in only 48 hours. The winning film will go up against films from around the world for the title "Best 48 Hour Film of 2008".

This year, we will be expanding the submission requirements, allowing participants to deliver High Definition projects, using tapeless media.

Enter today! Space is limited.

Teams will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the initial registration is full, we will put teams on a waiting list. If a registered team drops out or if we add additional theater space, teams on the waiting list will be added to the Project.

Early Bird Registration is $135. Teams must register on or before Friday, July 11, to get this special rate. Afterwards, registration is $155.
Register for Miami now!
