……… then this year’s 48 Hour Go Green project is inviting filmmakers to SPEAK UP AND CREATE!
Simultaneously, on February 18th, 2011, in cities around the world , 48 Hour Go Green kicks off. Teams will be given a brief and then have only 48 hours to get their films written, shot, edited and through post (you can secure equipment, actors and choose team members ahead of time but must register prior to the kickoff) before finally submitting for competition. The early bird special expires January 19th.
48 Hour Go Green was inspired by the 48 Hour Film Project and started as an ecological and collaborative spin off in 2009 in Athens, Greece. In addition to creating a global forum to air opinions about the environmental future of our planet, the prizes are pretty good too; the winner of the Grand Prize will receive $5,000 and will screen at Cannes International Film Festival in the Short Film Corner this year.
So, get registered and get ready to put your environmental voice out there.
