It's baaaaaaack!!

Novice and seasoned filmmakers alike will gather, pick up to 5 stories and set out to make them into short films all in a single weekend.

Fuel Film will provide the space, the equipment and the fuel for participants to turn their story ideas into short films.  All meals will be provided from Friday evening through Sundays' premieres and you'll even get a cool 48 Hour Film Launch T-Shirt.

Participants will have the opportunity to pitch their story ideas and then everyone will choose up to 5 movies they wish to make.

Attendees will be required to sign up for either Pre-Production, Production, Post Production or Marketing Teams.  Experienced local filmmakers will join novice filmmakers on each team in the areas of scriptwriting, cinematography, audio production, music composition, editing and acting, while marketing teams work on promotion.  

Non-Filmmakers - Have you ever wondered what it would be like to make a movie?  This single weekend could give you a new perspective and an awesome array of contacts in the industry

Filmmakers - What if you could have 20-30 people working on your short film over a single weekend?

48 Hour Launch weekends are powerful networking events that combine community spirit, local expertise and a truly rare experience in a single weekend.

Food, drink, space and equipment will be provided.  Some will work through the entire weekend, others will participate on and off throughout the weekend.

FAQ's:

Q: Do I have to bring a movie idea and, if so, do I need a script.

A: Anyone can pitch an idea, not everyone will.  Participants will vote on the five short movies (5 min or less)  that will get made. We can't predict how participants will vote, but those ideas that already have a written script, should have a better chance of winning.
