My friends and I--team Liquid Squid--participated in the 48-Hour Film Project last year. I encourage you to check out the organization and read about the details of the contest. It basically boils down to:
- Friday = beer and pizza fueled screenplay writing, constrained by contest-wide parameters including a specific character, prop, line of dialogue, and genre
- Saturday = coffee and doughnut fueled acting and filming, constrained by location, available equipment, and daylight
- Sunday = adrenaline fueled editing, constrained by flagging energy and a looming deadline
The result is a short film that may or may not be coherent. But damn did we have fun--and we won "Best Use of Prop"! This was our entry, It's the End of the World As Wayne Knows It.

This is awesome. I can't wait to check it out when I get back home this evening. Unfortunately, YouTube is blocked at work (AGH!).
My brother took place in something similar last year. There was some kind of 24-hour script-writing contest where a group would get together, write a play, develop props, rehearse, incorporate aspects of musical theater, create props, memorize lines, and then perform it at the 24-hour mark.
I'm sure the 48-hour film is just as demanding and simultaneously exciting! I look forward to checking it out!
