This comes from Beanywood:
In a wild, sleepless weekend, you and a team will make a movie--write, shoot, edit and score it. From scratch in 48 hours. On Friday, May 1st, you'll get a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all to include in your movie. By Sunday, May 3rd, the movie must be complete. It will show at Kendall Square Cinema at a screening in the next week.
There are two ways to get involved:
1. FORM A TEAM. If you can rustle up enough folks to make a movie, great! The project is open to pros and amateurs alike. You can register at http://www.48hourfilm.com/boston -- but do it soon, as slots are going fast. Then meet us on May 1st, ready to go!
2. JOIN A TEAM. If you're interested in participating, but can't form a team, you can still definitely be involved! More info at: http://www.48hourfilm.com/boston
