In 2001, The 48 Hour Film Project started as a local film challenge among friends. Since then, it has since evolved into a global phenomenon and the world’s largest filmmaking competition.
This year, The Asheville 48 Hour Film Project will take over the streets of ASHEVILLE from JUNE 22-24, 2012 and there are several ways for you to cover this extraordinary competition.
MISSION/HOW THE COMPETITION WORKS:
On June 22, participating teams will gather at Asheville Brewing Company where they will be given a genre, a character, a prop, and a line of dialogue they must work into their film. Films submitted even 1-minute late on June 24 will be disqualified.This year, Asheville will be one of a record 125 cities worldwide – from Beijing to Lisbon – competing in the 48 Hour Film Project. Submitted films will be screened for the public and judged by a panel of experts.
