The 48 Hour Film Project is back for 2006, and coming to a city near you. Organize a team of talent to compete head to head in creating a film in just 48 hours time. The winners of each city competition will compete nationally for an as-yet-unannounced prize package (last year they gave away Avid w/ Mojo editing systems and the Panny HVX-200). Winners of the 2005 city competitions will be screened at Cinequest, and past winners of the 48HFP have screened at SXSW.
