'48-Hour Film Project' Back This Weekend

Published Friday, February 16, 2007 by Blogger at CUC | E-mail this post

IT HAS BECOME an annual tradition. Each President's Day weekend, aspiring film-makers come together on the campus of Columbia Union College for the '48-hour Film Project.' The project was created by members of CUC's Communications and Journalism Department and is now sponsored by the Media Studies Department. Each February, students from around the country are invited to Columbia Union College to compete in this unique event.

Student teams are given the equipment necessary to create a short film and are given 48 hours to complete the project -- that includes writing, acting, directing, filming, and editing the entire short film. Oh yeah, and each year you have to incorporate one prop into your film, and you find out which prop when the project starts. This year's project will begin on February 17, at 7:00pm and will conclude...well...48 hours later. For more information on how you can be involved this year contact Barry Casey, Chair of the Department of Communicatiosn and Journalism, at bcasey@cuc.edu. You can also call CUC toll free at 800-835-4212.

Check back next week as we will try to post the winning film on this blog.
