The Pittsburgh 48 Hour Film Project
The 48 Hour Film Project comes to Pittsburgh on the weekend of June 6. Filmmakers from all over the Pittsburgh 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".
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 Monday, May 12, to get this special rate. Afterwards, registration is $155.
