48 Hour Film Project - Reno

THANK YOU, RENO! 🎬❤️

What a year.

To our filmmakers, sponsors, volunteers, partners, venues, supporters, and the entire Northern Nevada creative community — THANK YOU.

To our filmmakers: thank you for the creativity, sleepless nights, ridiculous ideas, problem-solving, teamwork, and 48 hours of absolute filmmaking chaos.

To our sponsors and community partners: thank you for believing in local filmmakers and helping us give Northern Nevada's creative community a place to create, connect, take risks, and be seen.

And to everyone who acted, crewed, volunteered, offered a location, loaned equipment, shared a post, attended an event, brought coffee, solved a last-minute disaster, or simply cheered these teams on — you are part of Reno 48.

We couldn't do this without you.

🏆 AND WE'RE NOT DONE YET...

Roll out the red carpet.

On September 19, we're bringing the entire Reno 48 community back together for a full-blown red carpet awards show celebrating the filmmakers, performances, crews, and incredible work that came out of this year's competition.

🏆 The trophies will be handed out.
🎬 The 2026 Reno 48 winners will be revealed.
❤️ The Reel Impact Awards will honor those making a difference.
🌟 The Real Visionaries Awards will celebrate the people helping shape our creative community.
📸 And the red carpet will be waiting.

This isn't just where we announce the winners.

It's where we celebrate everyone who makes Reno 48 possible — the filmmakers in front of and behind the camera, the sponsors and partners who believe in what we're building, the volunteers who keep the chaos moving, and the community that continues to show up for local film.
