48 Hour Film Project - INLAND EMPIRE, CA!

Greetings, 48HFP-IE Friends:

I know some of you - especially in the Palm Springs area - already plan to compete in this, but for those of you who missed out on competing in The 48 Hour Film Project, or if you’re thirsty for more, a sister competition, the National Film Challenge <http://filmchallenge.org/>, will occur Oct. 22-25, 2010. Instead of physically dropping off your film, you mail it in by Oct. 25 (see the NFC Web site for complete rules). And you compete against the rest of the nation – make that the world – simultaneously. The winners will be featured at 48HFP’s World Finals, Filmapalooza.

I’ve created a discussion board topic on our Facebook Fan page <http://bit.ly/a3ZEn8>, as well as a tab on our Posterous blog page <http://bit.ly/dC3AuW> for anyone interested. 

48HFP city producers are eligible to compete in the National Film Challenge, so I plan to participate. My initial goal was to get a member from each of the 48HFP-IE teams to be on my team. But I’ll be on another continent during the competition dates – and you betcha I’m gonna make a film wherever I am – one-wild-weekend style!

Best of luck if you compete in the National Film Challenge. Here’s hoping that at the 2011 Filmapalooza at Miami International Film Festival, I’ll get to root for Team Work and Play Productions/“Snakebit” AND another team representing the mighty IE!

Keep on filming,
Jeanette.

The National Film Challenge is an exhilarating worldwide filmmaking competition from the creators of the 48 Hour Film Project and KDHX Community Media. The Premise: Participating teams have just one weekend to write, shoot and edit a short film or video. Regardless of where you live, this is your opportunity to experience the 48 Hour Film Project phenomenon!

Just like in the 48HFP, you'll receive a character, prop, line of dialogue, and a genre through this website at 7pm local time, October 22nd. Then you'll have to mail the film in on October 25th.  In the following weeks the top films (determined by a national panel of judges) will be available for viewing (and voting!) on the Film Challenge website. The winning films will screen with the 48HFP City Winners at the next Filmapalooza, the 48HFP's end of year event at the Miami International Film Festival. In addition there are cash prizes for the winning films! Registration is now open for the 2010 competition, this year's date are October 22-25. Register on the Film Challenge site, <http://filmchallenge.org/>.

The 48 Hour Film Project – Inland Empire competition weekend was completed Aug. 8, 2010. Now see the fruit of the indie filmmakers’ + actors’ creative and collaborative labors in the World Premiere theater screenings at UltraStar Cinemas-University Village inRiverside, CA, Aug. 18 and 19!   

About 12 short films per screening group, 3 screening groups over 2 nights. Red carpet – check. Filmmaker Q&A – check. Giveaways – check. Audience award winners as voted by You – check. Awesome afterparties – check. An incredible event all around – you betcha! Bring friends, family, and whatever wardrobe you want - formal, semi-formal, slightly casual blue jeans, et al. 

$10 per screening group. More info + links to purchase tickets online @http://48hourfilm.com/inlandempire/  

Tickets can be purchased at the UltraStar Cinemas-University Village box office as well.

ON THE SLATE: 

Each team leader will get a custom badge on a suede lanyard – if only to help our MC announce each team as they parade down the red carpet in front of the silver screen to roars from the audience. The teams will have their photos taken by local press + paparazzi in front of a custom film festival-style sponsor logo backdrop. And cuz they’re all super Stars, each member will get to autograph the backdrop under their team’s name as they proceed to their stadium seats.

Then the awesomeness that is the 48HFP-Inland Empire films will start to roll!! (And word on the street is that at least two teams will be rolling up in limousines!)

Each night, starting at 10 p.m.Mediterranean Palace, steps fromUltraStar Cinemas-University Village, will be hosting an awesome afterparty for 48 Hour Film Project – Inland Empire! Save your movie ticket stub and bring five bucks, cuz the $5 cover charge includes a spread of FREE appetizers plus a voucher for a FREE drink (alcoholic or non; bring your IDs, please)! And within 30 minutes, we’ll be announcing the Audience Award winner of the night’s screening group(s)!

Then we’ll drink more and eat more and talk a lot more then drive home safely and close our eyes to one of the best nights of our lives…

Alan and I merely created a stage; the spotlight is on you, so shine!

Jeanette + Alan.

Special thanks to…Everyone!
