UoB48hour

For three years we ran the University of Brighton 48 hour film competition, directed by bbsheps. Across the three years there were forty six short films produced, all of which are linked below!

Each year we selected a prompt, coordinated social media, produced trophies, filmed promotional content, postered, coordinated a committee of judges and designed and distributed certificates. All three years proved hugely successful, from our early beginnings to our huge third year with twenty eight films. Each film had to be produced by less than six filmmakers, less than three minutes, and had to follow our one word prompt.
