5th Annual 24 Hour Film Dash

The 5th Annual 24 Hour Film Dash is set for April 20-21.

Objective – complete a digital film, within 24 hours by following the rules!  The rules are simple and all teams will obtain the final "five" elements during the kick-off meeting.  The elements include theme, prop, dialogue, action and character.  Then, watches are synchronized and you're off in a "mad dash" to complete the film!  Films will be judged the following weekend. And, depending on how many teams survive we will screen the films and announce the winner of the Estrella award.
