On September 27, we screened our films at the Arclight Cinema on Sunset Blvd, in front of fellow actors and directors, critics, agents and film enthusiasts. Attending were representatives from the Digital Artist's Agency, Film Threat Magazine and the production team from On The Lot.
We SOLD OUT of tickets, filled the theater and had to turn people away.
Everyone had a rocking time.
The winner or both the audience award and the judges award this year was:

THE 48 HOUR FILM FESTIVAL
The Extreme Filmmaker 48 Hour Film Festival was founded in 2002 in Hollywood.
Some visual effects artists were discussing how things would be different when they made their own films.
The participants realized something.
They'd been having the same conversation for years, and in that time,
not one of them had made a film of their own.
So the challenge went up - take the camera on Friday,
and return on Monday with the best film you could make in two days.
From those humble beginnings, we now screen annually at the spectacular Arclight Cinema in Hollywood.
Hundreds of fans attend along with various Hollywood celebrities, directors, agents and producers
who come to see the films from all over the country - even all over the world.
The ONLY real rules, besides filling out the forms, are to make the BEST movie you can in two days.
Writing, casting and set building are all outside the time frame, but once the camera starts rolling,
the film has to be edited and finished within 48 hours. Start when you like. Get the film to us by August 31.
