48 Hour Film Project
June 8-10, 2012 Competition June 13th Screening
Hooksett, NH
Web: www.48hourfilm.com/newhampshire

The 48 Hour Film Project is returning to the Granite State for the third year. This competition challenges filmmaking teams of all abilities to write, shoot, & edit short films in just 48 hours. This year’s competition will be held June 8-10, and screenings of the entries will be held Wednesday, June 13th at Cinemagic Theater in Hooksett. A panel of judges will choose the top entry to be sent to the international competition. The 48 Hour Film Project's mission is to advance filmmaking and promote filmmakers. Through its festival/competition, the Project encourages filmmakers and would-be filmmakers to get out there and make movies. The tight deadline of 48 hours puts the focus squarely on the filmmakers—emphasizing creativity and teamwork skills. While the time limit places an unusual restriction on the filmmakers, it is also liberating by putting an emphasis on "doing" instead of "talking."
