48 Hour Film Challenge

Ready to turn your big ideas into the next big blockbuster? The 48 Hour Film Challenge is your chance to step into the spotlight! We invite students aged 7 - 18 years to immerse themselves in the fast-paced world of filmmaking by creating a short movie from scratch, all in just one weekend. 

You’ll get exclusive, free access to professional tips and resources from industry experts, giving you a first hand real-world look at how the pro's do it.

It’s all about hands on learning by doing, finding your creative voice, and having a blast!. 

Plus, it’s a win-win: while you’re building your portfolio and learning new skills, you are helping to raise money for national youth mental health charities.
