48 Hour Film Project | 3,769 followers on LinkedIn. An international film event that inspires filmmakers to test their creativity, learn skills and showcase their films. | The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless weekend in which you and a team make a movie—write, shoot, edit and score it—in just 48 hours. On Friday night, you get a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all to include in your movie. 48 hours later, the movie must be complete. Then it will show at a local theater, usually in the next week.
