The Miami 48 Hour Film Project

The 48 Hour Film Project comes to Miami on the weekend of May 18 - 20, 2012. Filmmakers from all over the Miami area will compete to see who can make the best short film in only 48 hours. The winning film will go up against films from around the world.

Enter today! Space is limited.

This year, teams will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Once the initial registration is complete, we will accept teams for the Waiting List. If a registered team must drop out, we will go to the Waiting List. If there is enough interest, and we can secure additional theater time, we may be able to add more teams from the list.

Regular registration is $160. If teams register after Tuesday, May 8 they must pay a rate of $175.

Register for Miami now!

Film Society meeting update:                                                   Wed, March 21
We’ll continue with pre-production of "Game Boys", the script must be revised and re-written for production. Also I have good news; on Monday we met with the Director of the School of Entertainment Mr. Barry Gordon, we talked about the GENESIS Film Festival. We revised the proposal and he is in favor of the idea including the Red Carpet award ceremony,  first we need schedule an event at new digital theater inviting students to submit their films and describing what the new film festival is about. We need to start organizing this event right away so we can start collecting the films for the first annual GENESIS Film Festival, so we'll be talking in detail about the upcoming event. Also we need to invite students from the department of graphic desing to create a poster for the Film Festival.

Looking for original student Films for submission to BORSHT 8 Film  Festival 2012

Attention, Miami filmmakers: Your city's funkiest, most 305-inspired film festival wants your work.

Submissions are now open for the eighth year of the Borscht Film Festival, scheduled for the end of 2012. And if you have a film in the works -- or even just an idea for a film -- you could be among the directors and producers featured this year.

In its call for submissions, released this morning, Borscht stipulated that submitting filmmakers meet just one criteria: They must be "born, raised, inspired by, or living in South Florida."

"Borscht encourages producers, directors, writers, or even those with only an idea for a film to reach out to them," the release continues.

Because Borscht assists in the production of films in all stages, its submission deadlines are staggered. Filmmakers with work in its beginning stages must apply by May 1; films applying for finishing funds have a deadline of July 1; and completed films applying for screening only must apply by Oct. 1.

Visit borschtcorp.com for more info on Borscht, and borschtcorp.com/submitfest.html for official entry forms. Good luck!
