The 48-Hour Film Project is a challenge to make a 4 to 7 minute film in only 48 hours, including writing the script, shooting the scenes and all editing the film, including the creation of a musical score. Very ambitious and intense. The
competing teams each submit films which are viewed and graded by judges. In 2011, a friend of mine, Jon Abrahams, was part of the team that won not only the local competition, but the international competition, with a film called “In Captivity.” His team’s film was featured in this Youtube introduction to the 2012 competition. Also featured here is an interview of Jon. This looks like a blast–I’d love to try it someday.
