What is the 72 Hour Film Festival?

Filmmaker teams gathered at the Grand on April 26th at 7:00 p.m. for the instructions on what needs to be in their 4 minute-30 second short film. It's simple - they have 72 hours to write, shoot and edit a unique and creative short film that includes specific elements:

  • An invention
  • A purchase or product gone bad
  • An empty chair
  • The line: "Is this/that legal?"
  • Film length must be no longer than 4:30 (including credits)

The films were due back at the Grand on Sunday, April 29th by 7:00 p.m..

Finally, everyone is invited to watch these great local films at the Festival Party on Friday, May 11 at the Rialto. The evening includes food and drinks for purchase (not included in ticket price) and concludes with the annual awards ceremony, to recognize the best use of the different criteria plus an Audience Choice Award and an Honorable Mention, for a total of six (6) awards.
