There is no better thing you can do than take part in a 48hr challenge, ‘cos the worst than can happen is you’ll have made a film by Monday!
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 to WRITE, SHOOT and DELIVER your complete 5-minute film.
We want to thank our sponsors for supporting this event.
The sci-fi-london 48hr film challenge was started in 2008 and has had over 1400 short films made since then. The quality of the films created is amazing and proves that you can make engaging science fiction films on a low-to-no budget. Thank you to all those who have taken part.
The 2023 Title Card must be at the start of your film!!!
