The 48 Hour Film Project, the first and biggest timed film competition in the world, brings filmmaking teams together to make a movie from scratch — teams write, shoot, edit and score a short film — all in just 48 hours. And it’s coming to Columbus!
Filmmakers compete to see who can make the best short film in only 48 hours. The winning film goes up against films from around the world. Each completed film is guaranteed a big-screen screening in front of a full audience at the Landmark Gateway Theatre in the South Campus Gateway.
To be part of the 48HFP, you must register online at: 48HourFilm.com/Columbus.
The winning Columbus team will compete against other films to represent Columbus at the 48 Hour Film Project’s Filmapalooza – our international screening and awards event. And this year, we are pleased to announce, that Filmapalooza is at the NAB Show in Las Vegas in April 2010.
Entry in the project is first come, first served, so check out the website and enter today.
really? cool
This is actually coming back to Columbus in 2009. It was here last year as well. A very cool short film called Aidan 5 took home a few of the awards including best film, best graphics, best sound, and best Vincent D’Onofrio look alike. ;)
Here it is:
Wow!!!! That was really good. Nice story, great dialogue, good acting and it looked great. I was actually intrigued. Was this the national winner or the Columbus winner?
That was the Columbus winner, and I think they went on to compete nationally, but I’m not sure how they did.
That’s really cool. I did the 48 hour film project in Cincinnati two weeks ago and I had a great time with it. It’s exhausting, but a lot of fun.
I competed in the Cincinnati 48 Hour Film Fest for 5 years. My team won several awards over the years. Fun but exhausting. The last two years I was both in front of the camera acting and behind it writing and doing graphics and titles – pulled all nighters doing it. If you can take the following Monday off of work so you can sleep and recover from a superhuman busy weekend!
Aidan 5 won best of Columbus, took 2nd runner up at Filmapalooza in the International Film Fest and went on to screen at Cannes. It’s a huge success story for Columbus.
Is there an archive somewhere where we can watch all the 2008 entries from Columbus?
