Meet the Producers

A small team of dedicated Headquarters staff and a vast team of City Producers bring the 48HFP to our cities each year. This group of individuals come from many different backgrounds and from many different countries but share the commitment to make the 48HFP fun, fair and creatively invigorating.

Mark Ruppert Creator / Executive Producer

Mark came up with the idea for the 48 Hour Film Project back in 2001. As a filmmaker in his own right, Mark's belief in the power of creativity led him to challenge filmmakers to see what they can do in a single weekend.

Mark heads the international organization that runs the 48 Hour Film Project, coordinating more than 110 producers around the world. Mark's producing experience includes films, theater and special events. He has emceed award shows, international forums and his own talk/variety show.

Sarah Anderson Intern

Iris Carter Marketing Strategist

Throughout Iris' entire life, she has been immersed in creative activities. Her love of writing was nurtured early when her fourth grade teacher liked a play Iris wrote and allowed her to produce it for the class. Perhaps that spark ignited her desire to be Greensboro’s City Producer, to create an environment that respects and honors the work of local filmmakers, just as her teacher honored and respected her. Starting in 2010, Iris has worked to make each 48HFP event better than the one before it, encouraging teams to have fun, stretch their creative muscles, and bring in an audience to see the films produced by the talented folks of this area. A North Carolina native, Iris has lived in the Greensboro area most of her life and is proud to be among the global network of filmmakers brought together by the 48HFP.
