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 25 and deliver a finished movie by 7:30 PM Sunday, July 27. 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 48 HFP is visiting over 65 cities across the U.S. and includes international events in Paris, Amsterdam and Tel Aviv.

Registration is now Open at 48hourfilm.com/desmoines. Slots are limited, filling fast and first come, first serve.

• Open Auditions: Saturday, July 12th at 10am.
• Screenings of the 2008 entries: July 30 &31.
