The 48 Hour Film Project is a mid-sized organization in the Movies, Videos and Sound industry, based in Washington, DC. It runs a weekend film-making event in which teams write, shoot, edit, and score a movie within 48 hours. Participants begin on Friday with a required character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all of which must be included in the final film. Once completed, the movie is shown at a local theater, typically within the following week. Its audience comprises aspiring filmmakers and production teams seeking hands-on experience in rapid, collaborative filmmaking. In 2018, the organization formed a partnership with the Cannes Film Festival, indicating engagement with broader industry networks.
