Milly 48 Film Festival challenges filmmakers to create short films in 48 hours

The Milly 48 Film Festival, in partnership with Georgia College & State University’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies, challenges teams to write, shoot and edit an original short film in 48 hours, from Friday, Nov. 20, to Sunday, Nov. 22. The kickoff, the awards and film screening will take place at The Depot in Milledgeville. The event is open to all ages and experience levels. Team registration closes Monday, Nov. 16. At the kickoff on Friday at 6 p.m. at The Depot, each team will receive a genre and three surprise elements: a character, a line of dialogue and a prop that must appear in the film. Submissions will be reviewed by a panel of judges and select films will be presented at the Sunday awards ceremony, held at the same venue. The screening is free and open to the public. Attendees must reserve seats in advance as space is limited. Winning teams will receive prizes donated by sponsoring businesses.
