The 48 Hour Film Project returns to Philadelphia in 2010

We'll be back this year with the most exciting 48 filmmaking hours of your
life! Keep an eye out here for official dates and the start of
registration.

In the meantime, we have a lot of cool things coming up. Including, a
chance to:

1. Make a 48HFP Music Video - no time limit!
2. Vote your least favorite genre "Off the Island!"
3. Attend our end of the year extravaganza - Filmapalooza in Vegas!

More info below...

MAKE A MUSIC VIDEO!
That's right... here's your chance to take a little more time to make
your masterpiece 48HFP film. Make a Music Video to "You Have 48
Hours" by Bill Briare. We invite you to make a music video -- in
whole or in part -- and we’ll mix the submissions together for the
best music video ever and post it on our website and on YouTube.

The deadline for submissions is February 28th, so don't miss out. For
more info, go to:
http://www.48hourfilm.com/competitions/musicvideo/

YOUR VOTE COUNTS!
Take this short, and I mean really short survey, to help us decide the
official genres this year. Tell us which to keep and which to get rid
of in 2010. (A note to you lovers and haters of our beloved
"Musical/Western"... it's not going anywhere, so vote for something
else to get rid of or keep.) This is also your chance to make
suggestions for the required Character/Prop/Line of Dialogue for
cities throughout the world, so put those thinking caps on!

Go here to take the survey:

ATTEND FILMAPALOOZA in VEGAS!
We'll be in Vegas to celebrate the fantastic 48HFP filmmaking of 2009
and we hope you'll join us. Filmapalooza is April 10-12 at the NAB
Show. We'll screen all the 2009 City Winning Films, the winning
Showdown and National Film Challenge films, network with filmmakers
from around the world and party like it's 2010.

Registration for Filmapalooza is only $25... AND it includes access to
the NAB Show Floor for free! Go here to register:

We hope you'll take part in one or all of the above!

Please note: With so many exciting upcoming events you will be receiving a higher number of emails from us in the next 30 days. We hope you will find the information of use to you and we will be back to our regular number of emails in about a month.

Thanks!
