The 48 Hour Film Project

The San Diego 48 Hour Film Project

The 48 Hour Film Project comes to San Diego on the weekend of August 14th. Filmmakers from all over the San Diego area will compete to see who can make the best short film in only 48 hours. The winning film will go up against films from around the world.

Enter today! Space is limited.

This year, teams will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Once the initial registration is complete, we will accept teams for the Waiting List. If a registered team must drop out, we will go to the Waiting List. If there is enough interest, and we can secure additional theater time, we may be able to add more teams from the list.

Early Bird Registration is $135. Teams must register on or before Monday, July 20, to get this special rate. Afterwards, registration is $155.

Register for San Diego now!
