Competitions: Short Script, Story Board, & Film

The HS48 challenges you and your team to create in only 48 hours. This time limit puts the focus on teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity. In other words, it focuses on "doing". At the end of the weekend, you have your creative work to show. Our three competitions build on each other, but can also be done separately.
