Hi everyone. I'm new to the group but wanted to let you know about what's going on with this year's 48 Hour Film Project in Indianapolis. It is an international competition of short films made in 48 hours. Registration for teams just opened on June 2 with a series of meet and greet events following. The first is Friday night at Big Car in the Murphy Art Center in Fountain Square (1043 Virginia Ave. Suite 215).
The competition takes place July 31-Aug. 2 with the film screening -- where audience members have a chance to help select prizes -- taking place at The Tobias Theater at the Indianapolis Museum of Art on Aug. 6. This is the third year for the event in Indianapolis. More than 20 teams participated last year.
I'm working with the local arts organization Big Car to produce the local competition. You can get more info and register
here. Registration is based on a first-come first-served basis and space is limited.
