The 48 Hour Film Project

The Detroit 48 Hour Film Project

The 48 Hour Film Project comes to Detroit on the weekend of July 13 - 15, 2012. Filmmakers from all over the Detroit 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.

Enter today! Space is limited.

This year, teams will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Once the initial registration is complete, we will accept teams for the Waiting List. If a registered team must drop out, we will go to the Waiting List. If there is enough interest, and we can secure additional theater time, we may be able to add more teams from the list.

Early Bird Registration is $140. Teams must register on or before Monday, June 18 to get this special rate. Regular registration is $160. If teams register after Tuesday, July 3 they must pay a rate of $175.
