The 48 Hour Film Project Little Rock Best Of Screening – Little Rock
The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless weekend in which you and a team make a movie – write, shoot, and edit – in just 48 hours. On Friday night, teams draw a genre from a hat. They are then given a character, prop and line to include in their films. On Sunday night, in a wild dash to the drop off event, the film is turned in – and teams celebrate. The film is then screened at a local theater in front of an audience of filmmakers, friends and families. On Sunday, July 9, Little Rock teams submitted the results from their weekend of blood, sweat and tears – a completed film! Just a couple of day prior these were only ideas in heads of our filmmakers and now they have come to life. This is the “Best of” 2017 screening and Award Ceremony.
August 4, 2017, 7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
