Genre Requirement 48 Hour Film Politics & Comedy Project
At the kickoff event each team draws two genres.
By random drawing, teams will receive two genres--one political thriller, one comedy--and may choose which one to pursue. Your film must be true to one of the genres you have selected—and no trading with other teams!

Please Note: There are no wild card genres for this project.
Genres Not Set Yet
The official genre list for The 48 Hour Film Politics & Comedy Project 2023 has not been set yet.
Required Elements
In addition to drawing a genre, each team will be required to include an assigned character, prop and line of dialogue at the Kickoff Event.
Combining Genres
You may combine genres (e.g., a silent comedic buddy film) - however, your official assigned genre must be clearly represented in the mix.
Adherence to Assignment
Did you know judges base part of their scores on a film’s adherence to assignment? This refers to the genre and required elements.
