The 48 Hour Film Project is like no other film competition. It gives filmmakers the chance to showcase their talent in an original and creative form. Filmmaking teams of all levels will write, shoot, and edit their films beginning at 7 PM on Friday, July 24 and deliver a finished movie by 7:30 PM Sunday, July 26. They will each receive a genre, a character, a prop, and a line of dialogue that they must work into their piece. This year the 48HFP is visiting over 80 cities across the U.S. and includes international events in Paris, Amsterdam and Tel Aviv. 2009 marks the fifth year this event has been held in Des Moines.
