Returning to the Queen City on August 5th-7th is the 48-Hour Film Project which gives teams a genre, a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and 48 Hours to make a movie. Teams race against time as well as each other in order to complete the writing, filming, and editing of their film in exactly 48 hours.
On August 5th, local filmmakers from all around the WNY region will descend upon Buffalo, to hear the four critical elements that must be included in their film to qualify for the cash prize and the chance to have their film screened at the Cannes Film Festival. The movies will screen at The Market Arcade Theater on August 10th & 11th. Registration is open for teams to sign up to compete and new applicants are always welcome.
This year the Buffalo 48-Hour Film Project is sponsored by TheFVC.com which on Saturday July 23rd hosted an open casting call to connect actors/actress to get involved with the 48 Hour Film Projects.
