The High School
48-Hour Film Competition
February 9-11 or February 16-18 (choose one)
Have you ever made a film? Ever wanted to?
Do you have what it takes to write, shoot and edit a film in only one weekend?
​
​
The High School 48 gives you the power to show off your filmmaking skills. We give you a genre, a character, a prop, and a line of dialogue and the rest is up to you.
What's Involved?
It's Four Easy Steps
1. Get your friends to be the cast and crew
3. List your possible costumes and locations
2. Gather your equipment--camera, sound, lights, editing software (Did you know, a lot of great shorts are shot on cell phones?!?)
4. Register for the HS48
