Synopsis – The festival will bring together filmmakers/directors who will create a script based on a subject chosen at random at the kickoff event and then will have 48 hours to complete their four to six-minute film.
Local filmmakers have once again risen to the challenge of making a short film in just 48 hours. The second Annual Yuba-Sutter Flash Film Festival welcomed back some veteran filmmakers as well as some newcomers to this year’s event. Now it’s time to get everyone together and see what the teams created. During a random drawing, each team drew a theme, along with an object and a line of dialogue from a famous film that had to be incorporated into the film. Each film also had to comply with a time limit of 4-6 minutes.
