When is the Inland Empire competition?
Aug. 6.8, 2010.
Where do I register?
Our official Webpage, http://48hourfilm.com/inlandempire, has the link here.
Does it cost anything?
Yes. Early Bird registration per team is $135 by July 12. Afterwards, it's $155.
Besides the registration discount, are there other incentives for registering early for 48 Hour Film Project - Inland Empire?
- The first six teams that sign up get two extra FREE premiere-screening tickets for their teams. (As of 2:38 a.m. on the Fourth of July, we have 5 teams.)
- If you register by July 6, not only will you get the discount and the raffle, but also a FREE “Best of Inland Empire – 2010” DVD! This limited edition DVD will be stacked with bonus features and maybe even an Easter egg or two, but it will not be available for purchase later.
- All teams that register by JULY 12 also get: Entered into a raffle for awesome prizes + The Early Bird discount!!
Do I have to have my full team assembled before I register?
No. Only one person is absolutely necessary at the time of registration: the Team Leader.You can assemble your team via Meet and Greets, Workshops, Actor Auditions, or just finding members via your own ways and means.
How many people can be on my team?
The minimum number of cast/crew you'll need for your team is ONE. The maximum is, well, pretty much unlimited. (There are legends of teams of a hundred or so, as well as tales of teams of one. We do, however, suggest you keep your team to under a jillion.)
Do I have to be a professional film/videomaker or actor to participate?
No. All skill levels are welcome and encouraged to participate.
Do I have to attend the Meet and Greets, Workshops, Actor Auditions, etc. to participate?
No. These pre-competition events are optional, but highly recommended.
I don't want to shell out $135-$155, or really be a team leader, but I still want to participate, so what should I do?
Add your name to the Join a Crew database here. Also, you can split the cost of registration among members of your team...or try getting a sponsor for your team.
Can I participate if I don't live in the Inland Empire?
Yes. You do not have to have ties to the Inland Empire - or even shoot your film here - to participate in the IE edition. Same goes for 48 Hour Film Project competitions in other cities. 48 Hour Film Project also occurs in San Diego (July 16-18, http://48hourfilm.com/sandiego) and Los Angeles (Aug. 13-15; http://48hourfilm.com/la)
Can I participate in more than one edition of The 48 Hour Film Project?
Yes, and it's encouraged, because the competition is, well, awesome. However, you can win "Best Film" in only one city. More info in the Official Rules here.
