One-Shot 48 Hour Challenge 2010

Recap
The 2nd Annual A3F One-Shot 48 Hour Challenge took place October 8-10, 2010. Teams had just two days to create a 1-4 minute film based on the theme, Miscalculation, the prop where a character had to crumple or uncrumple a piece of Paper and a line of dialogue, "I have a bad feeling about this." The catch being their film could only consist of one shot, that's just two clicks of the record button!

"Last year's One-Shot went down as one of our best festivals on record so we thought we should do it all again!" said Jae Staats, A3F Director and Founder. "And we were not disappointed as the films the second time around were just as entertaining and really showed the creativity of the filmmakers."

The kick-off party took place at Majerle's Sport Grill in downtown Phoenix on the 8th of October. Team leaders, cast and crew gathered for the revealing of the official guidelines and also took the opportunity to talk some filmmaking and gear up for their 48 hour challenge.

Once the films were turned in 48 hours later, a panel of 5 judges watched and scored the films and selected the Top 20 to screen at AMC Theatres in downtown Phoenix. With an amazing walk-up crowd, over 260 indie-film enthusiasts packed the theatre and laughed and applauded the 20 films which ranged from a humorous spoof of Star Trek to a record store romance to a deadly milkshake. All of the films were warmly received and delighted the appreciative audience.

An awards ceremony and after-party capped the night as over $800 in prizes, certificates and A3F goodies were given out to a fantastic crowd who cheered everyone on and supported the filmmakers who worked so tirelessly on their one-shot films. Thank you to everyone for an awesome evening of independent films!
