What is a 72 Hour Film Festival:
On Thursday, April 29 exactly 30 teams will meet at the Grand Cinema to receive their instructions for this year's competition. It sounds simple they have 72 Hours to write, shoot and edit one (1) 5-minute film. Each team is required to turn in their 5-minute film by 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 2. The films must include four components, of which might be: a situation, an action, a certain line of dialogue, a location or a certain prop.
This is not an easy task, but the results are fantastic. The variety of humor, drama and ingenious creativity put into these short 5-minute films is a must see. For more information visit www.GrandCinema.com or call 253-572-6062.
