A film about assumptions and our unconscious biases.

“The 48 Hour Film Project Started in Washington DC in 2001 and is a global event that happens in more than 100 cities

The 48 takes place on different weekends in different cities throughout the year where each team draws genres out of a hat and receive the required elements for their film.

Then it is off to the races—writing, shooting and editing and doing whatever it takes to submit your short film on Sunday night.

The big payoff is seeing your masterpiece in the big screen at a local theater. 

At the city awards event, the winning films—as determined by local judges—are announced. More than a dozen awards are given—from Best Acting to Best Directing to the top prize: Best Film.

The Best Film in each city screens at our annual international film festival—Filmapalooza. This fest features screenings, workshops and parties and is attended by filmmakers from around the world. At the Awards Ceremony we announce the Grand Champion of the Year!

Many of our films go on to festivals around the world, but we are proud of our 17 year partnership with the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner. Each year we take a selection of our top films to screen at the festival.”
