Hello Filmmakers and Film Aficionados!

The time is here again for the 4th Annual National
Film Challenge! The National Film Challenge
( www.filmchallenge.org ) is brought to you by KDHX
Community Media and the creators of the 48 Hour Film
Project ( www.48hourfilm.com ).

Here are the details:


WHAT IS THE NATIONAL FILM CHALLENGE?

It's your chance to stop talking and start filming!
The premise? Similar to the 48HFP, filmmaking teams
have just one weekend to make a short film. All
creativity - writing, shooting, editing and adding a
musical soundtrack - must occur beginning Friday
evening at 7 p.m. on October 20, 2006 and ending
Monday October 23, 2006.

On Friday, to make things interesting, each team is
emailed a genre for its film, and a character, prop
and line of dialogue that must appear in each team's
movie. Then the film must be sent to National Film
Challenge Headquarters with a postmark no later than
Monday, October 23.

In the following weeks the top films (determined by a
panel of judges) will be available for viewing (and
voting!) on our website ( www.filmchallenge.org ).

There will be two big winners this year - The Judges
Winner and The Audience Award Winner (determined by
the online voting). Both films will screen with the 48
Hour Film Project City Winners at this year's 48 Hour
Film Project end of year event (TBD). In addition
there will be cash prizes for the winning films!
