The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless weekend in which filmmakers with a team make a movie—write, shoot, edit and score it—in just 48 hours. On the opening Friday night, contestants are given character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all to include in their movie. 48 hours later, the movie must be complete. All completed films are then shown at a local theater, the following week.  Last year's entries were screened at the Suncoast Hotel & Casino. In previous years, nearly 40,000 filmmakers made 3,000 films in in 76 cities around the world.
