The 48 Hour Film Project

The Atlanta 48 Hour Film Project

The 48 Hour Film Project comes to Atlanta on the weekend of June 15 - 17, 2012. Filmmakers from all over the Atlanta 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.

Regular registration is $160. If teams register after Tuesday, June 5 they must pay a rate of $175.

Register for Atlanta now!
