From their homepage: “The 48 Hour Film Project comes to Asheville on the weekend of June 20. Filmmakers from all over the Asheville area will compete to see who can make the best short film in only 48 hours. The winning film will go up against films from around the world for the title ‘Best 48 Hour Film of 2008.’”

Any thoughts on this? I thought that the previous three were tons of fun.

I’m excited!  Would love to follow a crew around and get photos of them workin’ it - and i think there’s an opening party friday somewhere.  Hey, what a great shot of asheville they have on their webpage. :)))

It’s a very cool project, and has doubtless helped launch a number of film careers. If I had more time, I’d get involved with a team again, but that’s looking unlikely. Maybe next year I’ll try to gather some talent from Spartanburg and raid the Asheville 48HFP like a horde of vikings with used boom mics and rented lights.
