get involved...

The past couple of years have been rubbish for most everyone and it has been a weird time for filmmakers.

There is no better thing you can do than take part in the 48hr challenge. The next one takes place on Saturday 10th September.

At 11am (UK time) on that day, we will send you the TITLE of the film you will make, a PROP list, a line of DIALOGUE and an optional IDEA/THEME. You then have until Monday 12th September to WRITE, SHOOT and DELIVER your complete 5-minute film.

We can’t wait to see the results!

It will then take us a few weeks to shortlist the films and send them to our main jury. We are planning to screen ALL the films made this year and hold a big party for the winners and shortlisted films… dates to be announced.
