48-Hour films
Can I just say how excited I am about this year's batch of 48-Hour film challenge films? I watched them all on Wednesday night and was so impressed by the huge number of excellent films this year. Only the top 5 move to the finals - and boy was that tough - but the Audience also gets to choose their favorite to move into the finals too. Plan on attending the screening to make your voice heard.
And plan on attending to see what great work the teams turned out this year!
