I’ve competed the last 3 years in a row, and while sometimes frustrating and exhausting, it’s a fun experience that I recommend you try if you’re into making your own films. The 48 Hour Film Project runs all year long, all around the world, so if you’re not from Denver, you have can still go to the website and learn more about where you can compete near you!
