Wide Angle Tasmania invites Tasmanians to team up and script, shoot, edit and submit a short film… all in 48 hours!

In 2021, the challenge runs from 7pm Friday Sept 24 – 7pm Sunday September 26. The WAT 48 Hours Challenge asks screen creatives to make a short film of 6 minutes or less – including writing, shooting, editing and scoring – within a 48 hour period.

The competition is open to both amateur and professionals. Completed films will screen the following week, from Wednesday 29-30th with an awards screening on 1 October at the Wide Angle Screen Centre in South Hobart.
