Thinking outside the box

48Hrs Filmmaker Challenge

The 4Hrs filmmaker challenge is an exciting opportunity for filmmakers to grow and really stretch their skills. Buccaneer Pictures participates in the 48Hrs Filmmaker Challenge every year. 

48HRS

How it works!

 

In a nutshell, a team has 48hrs to 1) Write 2) Shoot 3) Edit and 4) Deliver a finished short film. 

Each year a theme is chosen that all the films must fall under. To throw in some curve-balls and really make you think outside the box, the challenge requires certain elements to be part of every film entry. 


These elements are:


1) A Character name.

This name is given to you and must be included somehow. Either an actual character in your film, or "mentioned" in the film.

2) A Prop.

This prop must be included somehow in your film.

3) A line of dialogue.

Every year a line of dialog from a film that  is in the theme of the festival is chosen and must somehow be included in your characters lines.

4)  Genre is pulled from a hat!

Yes you read that right. Each team will draw a slip of paper from a hat that has their genre listed on it. That will be recorded by the administrators and must be followed.

5) Time limit: 6 Minutes.

This is a HARD timeline and includes credits.
