WE DID IT!
Hong Kong's second annual 48 Hour Film Project came to a close with packed screenings, feisty Q&A's and a rowdy wrap party.
It's been a full week of prep - including midnight trips to the cinema to test screen, hand-wringing over our classification from the film censorship board, walking into China to pick up clapboards, and Facebooking like mad to get the word out about our screenings.
But it all paid off! With almost 600 people attending both screenings (of 21 films), energy was...Read more

THIS SATURDAY ONLY! The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless weekend in which a filmmaking team makes a movie—writes, shoots, edits and scores it—in just 48 hours.

After a near-sleepless weekend, 3 of our hardy filmmakers stumbled into the RTHK studios to do a "morning after" interview for Phil Whelan's Morning Brew program.
We discussed genre challenges, crews, time-constricted location shoots, editing headaches, and the whole 48 Hour experience!

Last night's Drop Off - the conclusion to our carazay filmmaking weekend - was a roaring success.
19 out of 21 teams made the deadline, holla!
A handful of teams carried their Macs and gear into Yumla, rendering and exporting until the very last minute. DVDs went flying over the finish line towards our volunteers.
Our filmmakers looked exhausted but relieved, and ready for their victory sleep.
Check out our album of shiny, happy teams above!
Next up...screenings and wrap party!

Our official Kick Off was last night at 7PM, and we sent 21 teams into the Hong Kong wild to make films like crazy.
