"You Have 48 Hours" Music Video Project
In our 48HFP Theme Song contest we received some GREAT songs. Two of them really stood out:
1. Our grand prize winner, the hard-rocking "I Had A Cooler Weekend Than You" by Patrick Tyrrell will serve as the music for our trailer at our screenings this year; and
2. "You Have 48 Hours" by Bill Briare, a fun anthem with catchy words that won’t leave your head—even if you want them to—that cries out to be made into a music video.
And that’s where you come in!
We think that you, our 48HFP filmmakers, might have a good time with this.
We want you to make a music video with this song. We hereby invite you to download the song, and contribute your own footage of you, your friends, animals, puppets, robots, or anything you choose singing along to this song, or provide footage that goes along with the song. To show the global spread of the 48 Hour Film Project, our filmmakers from around the world are urged to participate! We’ll mix the submissions together for the best music video ever and post it on our website and on YouTube.
Download the lyrics and the song and get started!
