The organizers say that in 2009 nearly 40,000 filmmakers made 3,000 films in 76 cities. <\/p>\n<p><!--adsense#300--><\/p>\n<p>The idea goes back to 2001, when Mark Ruppert decided to make a film within two days. His filmmaking partner Liz Langston took up the challenge and other DC filmmakers formed their own teams to join him in this experiment. The idea became a resounding success.<\/p>\n<p><strong>48 Go Green<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In order to tap into the increasing appetite for green films, the festival has started a parallel competition called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.48hourfilm.com\/competitions\/gogreen\" target=\"_blank\">48 Go Green<\/a>. It follows the same basic principle \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the film must be shot in 48 hours \u00e2\u20ac\u201c but it must deal with an environmental theme.<br \/>\nParticipants are assigned a theme for the film from a list of topics that includes animals, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\">energy<\/a>, the environment in general, forests, the next generation, the planet, the sea and water.<\/p>\n<p>Filmmakers can pick any genre but will have to include a character, prop and a line of dialogue that are part of the format of the festival as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>48 Go Green has in-person kickoffs, drop-offs and premier screenings in Atlanta, Boston, DC, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Portland and San Francisco. The organization accepts 30 teams per city.<\/p>\n<p>People who don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t live near any of those cities can participate online. Assignments are sent via email and once the film is ready, it can be uploaded to the 48 Go Green website.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck!<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li>No Related Posts Found!
