48 films project returns!

WHAT IS THE 48 HOUR FILM PROJECT?

It's your chance to stop talking and start filming! The premise? Filmmaking
teams have just one weekend to make a short film. All creativity-writing,
shooting, editing and adding a musical soundtrack-must occur in a 48 hour
window beginning Friday evening at 7 and ending Sunday at 7. The following
week, the completed films are screened to an eager audience.

HOW DO I SIGN UP MY TEAM?

Starting this FRIDAY APRIL 22, 2005 at 12 NOON CST you will be able to
download the entry forms at www.48hourfilm.com to sign up your team. Only 30
teams will be selected this year. The first 10 teams who sign up are
automatically accepted. After that it is a lottery for the remaining teams.
Teams can be anywhere from 1 person to 30 or more people. THE DEADLINE FOR
APPLICATIONS IS MAY 15, 2005.

WHEN IS THE EVENT?

The contest is on JUNE 10-12 and the screenings of the films will be on JUNE
15 at The Pageant. In addition, there will be a "Best Of" screening on JUNE
17 at The Pageant that will include an awards ceremony and live music by the
nationally touring band MOFRO (www.mofro.net). In addition there will be a
Sunday Night "Drop Off" party at the Moolah Lounge where exhausted
filmmakers can trade war stories and get some nourishment and drinks after a
LONG weekend.
