The world's largest timed film competition just got even hotter as the 48 Hour Film Project presents our FREE community timed filmmaking competition, 48HFP: Xtinguish! Make a short film in just 48 hours using a genre, character, prop, and line of dialogue that aren't revealed until Kickoff. And in this version, each film must be shot in, on, around, or somehow feature the Cuyahoga River. What better way to prepare for the summer 48HFP event than to actually make a film in 48 hours? That's why we've partnered with West Creek Conservancy's Xtinguish Celebration on this FREE community filmmaking competition-- 48HFP: Xtinguish! The *Xtinguish Celebration <https://xtinguishcelebration.com/>* is a series of events to help commemorate the ecological progress made since the infamous 1969 Cuyahoga River Fire. The incorporation of this project expands the cultural immersion of conversations around the Cuyahoga River into the film community. Will your voice be heard? This special competition will take place on the weekend of *April 26th-28th* with a very special screening showcase of the films on *May 31st* at moCa Cleveland <https://www.mocacleveland.org/>. While this is not an official 48 Hour Film Project competition, it will follow the same rules as the 48HFP, but with a twist--teams will have 48 hours to write, produce, and edit their short films using a genre chosen at random, along with a character, prop, and line of dialogue...but all of the films for this special competition must take place in, on, or somehow feature the Cuyahoga River! It's the perfect way for filmmakers to contribute to the overall Xtinguish Celebration, and hone your skills to prepare for this summer's official 48HFP competition. Registration will CLOSE when all spots are filled, so don't miss your chance to make a film!
