How do you ensure the coolest weekend EVER, even during an ELECTION YEAR? Mix Politics & Comedy to make a movie in only 48 hours! Dozens of miracle workers made a short film outta nuthin' in just one weekend. Given a pair of Genres -- one Political, one Comical, a Prop, a Character, a Line of Dialog and only two days to come up with a piece of entertainment (that is actually entertaining), you just can't imagine the ATOMIC power of such hyper-creativity! Don't believe me? Here's the proof!
The Premiere Screenings for the Austin 48 Hour Film Project took place in Jones Auditorium at the Ragsdale Center on the St. Edward's University Campus on Oct. 19th. Now you can watch the films AND awards presentation from the comfort and safety of your own home.
Maybe one of your friends participated... or a relative... or a co-worker... or that cutie you want to impress... Maybe you just heard about it on the radio or Facebook or Twitter? No matter... come check it out. You won't believe our teams wrote, filmed, edited and scored these vignettes in only 48 hours!
