Join us for chills and thrills at the special Sci-fi /Horror Edition of the Wisconsin 48 Hour Film Project. The local arm of the international 48Hour Film Project. It is the world's oldest and largest timed filmmaking competition. If you want the real deal, this is it.
Our filmmakers took on the challenge to write, shoot, edit, and score short films in just 48 hours all while maintaining strict safety precautions to keep their cast and crews safe. We applaud their passion to their craft, and we are honored to share their films.
