It’s less than two weeks until The Ealing 48 | 48-hour film competition!

I’ve wanted to run a 48-hour film competition for years, and it’s finally happening!

Teams will have just 48-hours to write, shoot, edit, and submit their short film. The films are 5-7 minutes (including credits), and must be in the genre we allocate and must include the three random elements we announce (a prop, a line of dialogue, and a shot or filmmaking technique).

The competition runs Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th November, 8pm-8pm, GMT (aka UK Time).

The competition is open to filmmakers based in Ealing, London, and the world! That’s right, teams can take part from anywhere in the world — the Kick-Off Event is in person and will be live-streamed, and the submission is online through FilmFreeway.

The Kick-Off Event – where we allocate the genres and announce the random elements – is happening at OPEN Ealing, 7pm to 8pm.

The top films will screen at an event at ActOne Cinema in Ealing on Sunday 26th November, 11am to 1pm. The selected films will receive support in distributing their film, and will be up for prizes, including Best Cinematography, Best Performance, Best Editing, and Best Soundtrack.

Registrations are open now. Get your team together and join the challenge!
