Genre Requirement 48 Hour Global Film Challenge
Each team will get their choice between two assigned genres - ranging from the classics (like Comedy and Drama) to the more specialized (like Fish Out of Water and Silent Film).
Everything begins on Friday night at 7 pm local time. You will receive an email with your genres and required elements for your film. Your film must be true to one of the genres you have been assigned.
You may be creative and combine genres, provided that one of your assigned genres is clearly preset.
And remember: no trading genres with other teams!

Adherence to Assignment
