The 48 Hour Challenge itself
The Elements

We kick off on Friday, 16th May 2025, at 4:30pm

You will then have 48 hours to make an original film from scratch.


Your Team Leader will be sent the three elements (prop, line of dialogue and character) which must to appear in your original film.


Your film can be any length but must be under 4 minutes.


It can be a film, documentary, or animation; it is your choice!


To obtain a place on the judges' table you need to show a creative use of the three elements, they really enjoy clever interpretations.
