Here are the details:

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. The Best Film from Asheville will be chosen and winners will then be in the running for top honors in Hollywood, CA at Filmapalooza 2013, the 48 Hour Film Project’s annual awards.
