The 48 Hour Film Festival is a frenetic New Zealand competition which begins In May and it is open to everyone all over Aotearoa and beyond. In 48 hours you and/or your team need to make a short 5 minute film with certain criteria. The prize money is $5,000. The festival kicks off on Friday 17th May, and this is when participants get given their unique genre of film, dialogue and characters.
This competition has been going for 15 years, and from my sources (who didn’t end up winning anything) it is fantastic fun. However don’t expect getting much sleep that weekend. Also they said to have plenty of snacks at the ready and leave lots of time for editing your film/masterpiece.
