Every year at the Sacramento International Film Festival, we participate in the
48 Hour Filmmaker Challenge. It is a fantastic chance to grow and stretch and learn.
Each team is given 48 hours to:
1) Write
2) Shoot
3) Edit
4) Deliver Film.
The films can be no longer than 6 minutes (Including credits).
Then they throw in the curve balls...
Each challenge has its own unique "specifics" that must be in each film in order to qualify.
Each year you are given:
A) A Theme
B) A Genre (Pulled from a hat)
C) A Prop
D) A Character Name
E) A Line of Dialogue
