BOISE, Idaho — i48 Film Festival is a short film competition that showcases local filmmakers in Idaho. What makes this festival different from other local film festivals is that contestants are only given 48 hours to create, edit, and put together a short film. All content in the film must be filmed in that time frame, no past footage could be used.
There are two categories of filmmakers in this competition:
Local filmmakers such as Gracie and Bella Hall have participated in this local film festival in the past.
Filmmakers are given an unknown genre, and have two days to create a short film that is three to six minutes long. The family friendly festival displays PG movies from genres ranging from comedy to action.
The elements of participating in the film festival are to have a line of dialogue, character, and props, and to have fun!
The competition this year started on June 2 and teams had until Sunday, June 4 at 6 p.m. to turn in their finished products.
