The goal is to write, shoot, edit and otherwise produce a short film in 48 hours or less. Beyond lining up a crew, equipment and possibly a cast and locations, you are forbidden from preparing in any other way. Pre-planning is next to impossible anyway because you don't know what genre you're preparing for until the project begins. Teams choose a genre out of a hat and are given three story elements - a character, a line of dialogue and a prop - with which to write their script. All the elements must exist in the final movie and it must be turned in on time to be considered for any awards. We're competing against 40 other teams this year, which is amazing considering last year we barely broke 20.
