The 48 Film Project
The 48 Film ProjectWe are an international shorts film festival in which contestants create and shoot their film within 48 hours. The competition period runs from 1st January through 15th November each year. Register your team and start your 48 hours when you are ready. We are one hundred per cent digital. Upload your entry online, from any suitable device, from anywhere in the world.
 How to Enter the 48 Film Project Online Shorts Competition
48 Film Project is the ultimate international online short film competition. Make a film between four (4) minutes and seven (7) minutes long, and upload your entry online.
Here’s how it works
Our competition is global and it runs from January 1 to November 15. Compete from anywhere…your bed, your bathtub, the South Pole, the dark side of the moon. We don't care. You can shoot your film from any place you like, at any time you want (within the competition period).
Ours is the only short film contest entirely online. There are no reels, no kick-off dates, and no drop-off points. We've canned them.

Your Three Elements
Your short film must include the required elements. The 48 Film Project system allocates them randomly. These elements will be displayed on your profile page, immediately after you push the “Competition” button.
• Line: must be recited as given with no variation or falsification.
• Prop: required for at least one scene.
• Character: can be a supporting role, but must be present in the film in at least one scene.
Use your elements in a thought-provoking and interesting way. Every team must use them, but each combination is unique, so make the most of the opportunity to be original.
6 Post-Production and Submission
When you’ve edited and produced your piece, you must add the titles. Before the film begins, the file should have:
• 5 seconds of black
• A title card with: team name, date, city, title, and genre
• A title card with: "This film is made for 48FilmProject.com 2014."
• 2 seconds of black
You can add 60 seconds worth of credits at the end of the film, making a maximum running time of eight (8) minutes, but the credits must not exceed 60 seconds.
Upload your film!
Had fun? Why not do it all again? There are no restrictions on the number of entries. Register your team or join as a member.
