Champaign Movie Makers to hold team-based short filmmaking festival

A lot can happen in 48 hours. You can even make a short film, thanks to this opportunity from the Champaign Movie Makers.

In a recent announcements, the organizers shared the following:

“A 48-hour film fest is an exercise in efficiency, endurance, and off the-cuff creativity. Teams are given precisely 48 hours to produce a short film from concept to completion.

At the kickoff meeting at Lincoln Square Mall, teams will be given three things they need to build their story around. These things will need to be incorporated in your story in a significant way. Don’t come in with a script already written; your storytelling process begins at the kickoff. You will need at least one team member present at this meeting.

All submissions must be sent to [email protected] 48 hours after kickoff. Finished entries will be played and judged at a screening on June 9th (100 years to the day after the first sound on film recording). Stay tuned to the Facebook event page or more information.”
