Boston 48 Hour Film Project

Each May, filmmakers have 48 hours to write, produce, and edit 4-7 minute movies that premiere at the Somerville Theatre and compete for Best Of & Awards recognition at the Crystal Ballroom (and a chance to screen at Cannes)!
Congrats to The Ink Tank, Alternate Route, and Priced-Out Pictures for completing NEW movies in the international Yes, We Cannes competition last weekend (and best of luck to our Boston teams)! www.48hourfilm.com/yes-we-cannes
