Welcome to the 48HFP
Are you a director, actor, editor, shooter, or audio ninja just itching to practice your craft? Professionals, pre-professionals or hobbyists - this is what you have been waiting for.
The 48 Hour Film Project is an opportunity for filmmakers of all levels to practice your craft - to make a film in a weekend and have it screen before an audience at your local theater.
How It Works
It sounds simple: Make a film in 48 hours - 2 days - one weekend. Here’s the catch - you don’t know the genre of your film until right before the clock starts ticking!
First begin putting a team together and register for the 48HFP in your city.
Next after registering, you will receive a series of emails with information and tips for a successful event. During the lead up to the Project, teams recruit their cast and crew, scout locations and pull their gear together - putting everything in place for the filmmaking weekend.
Friday Night Kickoff Leeuwarden: vrijdag, 22 oktober 2021
The 48 Hour Film Project weekend starts on a Friday night with the Kickoff Event for your city. At the Kickoff:
- Each team receives the genre for its film in a random drawing
- Then the required elements are announced - a character, a prop and a line of dialogue - each of which must appear in all films
Then it is off to the races!! Filmmakers have just 48 hours to write, shoot and edit their film.
Film Weekend: 48 Hours of Non-Stop Action Leeuwarden: vrijdag, 22 - zondag, 24 oktober 2021
Most teams schedule their weekend like this:
- Friday Night: Writing the script, gathering costumes and props
- Saturday: Production - this is the shoot
- Sunday: Editing and Dropoff - it’s time to complete your film as the minutes tick down
zondag Night Dropoff Leeuwarden: zondag, 24 oktober 2021
At the Dropoff Event, teams submit their film along with the required paperwork. But don’t be late! One minute late is too late to be eligible for awards - but all films are screened.
Premiere Screening: Your Film on the Big Screen Leeuwarden: zaterdag, 13 november 2021
The culmination of all your hard work is a screening of your film at a local theater. All submitted films (both late and on-time) will be screened!
