Fantastic the 48hr Film Challenge has come to Nigeria!!

One will think this thread will generate a lot of interest?

I just finished participating in the challenge(as an actor). Very intense and challenging to come up with a story that must be told in 5mins and incorporate all the elements that they gave us but it was worth it. I hope my team wins as we had to shoot on saturday and edit all night and submit on Sunday(Really hectic dude). I will keep you guys posted on the outcome.

@VillageBoi I have tried to get lotta people to know about it. It's probably the most important thing to have happened to Nollywood in a while. Glad lotta talented people will be getting a chance and motivation to show their stuff to people.

We should start a topic and keep each other updated. Script-wise, pre, pro and post updates too. Encourage one another. Hope that's a good idea?

@ bolded - That is a very good idea Jayboy.

It's unfortunate the one I featured in got disqualified due to late entry but the producer submitted it for the afrinolly short film competition. Well, it's one of those things.

That's another good one. Nice one. I'm hoping to submit mine too. Hope I'm able to beat the deadline.
