ABOUT the 48hr film PROJECT
The 48 hr film project is a competition held in cities around the world where teams of filmmakers gather to make a movie in just two days. Each team is given a genre at random and must include three shared elements; a prop, a line of dialogue, and a character.
For the 2023 competition in New York City, the shared elements were:
Prop: A Marker
Line of Dialogue: "Let's start at the beginning".
Character: A party planner, Madison or James Everhart.
Allie and her team drew horror/medical for their genre.
