The 48 Hour Film Project is coming to the Nashville Local and SAG-AFTRA has it covered. Members are able to participate in productions whose team leader has signed the Short Film Agreement as modified by the 48HFP Rider.

This year’s contest dates in Nashville are August 16-18. Registration is now open and the deadline for teams to register is August 6 .

Film teams compete to make a short film in only a weekend. Awards are given for Best Acting to Best Film. The Best Film from each city screens at the 48HFP annual international film festival - Filmapalooza - where a Grand Champion of the Year is awarded. Many films screen at festivals around the world and 48HFP have a partnership with the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner to screen selected films.

Get connected with a team in your local or start your own team! It’s a chance to get new material for your reel, network, and see your work on the big screen - maybe even in France!
