Deadline-oriented filmmakers have until Monday, July 1 to get themselves and their teams registered for this year’s 48 Hour Film Project. The event asks teams of filmmakers to write, direct, edit and premiere short films (based on a pre-assigned “genre, character, prop and line of dialogue”) in a mere two days. The event takes place here in Albuquerque, July 26 through 28. July 1 is the early bird deadline. Get yourself signed up by then and you’ll only have to fork over $148. After that it goes up to $168. Winning films be given the opportunity to compete nationally against 48 Hour Film Project teams from other participating cities at Filmapalooza 2020. In the end the top entries from around the world will take home a grand prize and will screen at the Cannes Film Festival’s 2020 Short Film Corner. For complete info on gathering your team and entering the local contest, go to 48hourfilm.com/albuquerque.
