Teams of amateur filmmakers sign up, and at the appointed time, they're all given a line and a prop they have to use in a short film.

Selections from the Boston round of the 48 Hour Film Project will be shown as part of the Boston Underground Film Festival, this Sunday. They've posted the audience survey winners. I'm not surprised that "Rubbers" was the winner from Group A, the showing I posted about and went to see.

There's only one more showing scheduled for it at the big screen downstairs at the Coolidge Corner Theatre, tonight at 9:30pm. I'm going with a few friends. Come ( Read more... )
