You’re not donating to a project; you’re investing in us as artists. Film challenges are a great way for young artists to create together without the constriction of having to turn a profit. The 48-hour film fest means no excuses, no procrastination, and no self-doubt, only unbridled creativity.

Mission Statement

Help us create a 48-hour film and see it on the big screen! Every film gets screened, with top winners advancing to Filmapalooza and even Cannes! Support us to cover production costs, gain behind-the-scenes access, and be part of something amazing. Every dollar counts—let’s make movie magic!

The Story

Because we’re not just making a film—we’re making the most of a moment.


In just 48 hours, we’ll write, shoot, edit, and deliver a complete short film. It sounds impossible—and that’s the point. This challenge strips filmmaking down to its essence: creativity, collaboration, and pure storytelling under pressure. No overthinking. No perfectionism. Just a group of filmmakers pushing their limits for the love of the craft.


Last year, we took on the Atlanta 48-Hour Film Project with a lot of heart, very little sleep, and zero budget. The result? A short film called "Shepherd" that earned us Best Makeup and a Best Actor nomination. More than that, it reminded us why we do this—to create with people we care about, to tell stories that matter, and to share them with a live audience.




This year, we want to go further.

With your support, we won’t just make another film—we’ll elevate it. Your contributions help feed and fuel our crew, rent better gear, and submit the final cut to festivals like Filmapalooza and even Cannes. We want to take this scrappy, 48-hour short and give it a shot at the global stage.

Supporting this project means more than funding a film. It means backing artists who believe in storytelling as a way to connect, inspire, and break through limitations. It means you’re not just in the audience—you’re part of the process. You're helping a story get told that wouldn't exist without you.

So join us. Let’s make something unforgettable. Together.

About This Team

Meet the Team Behind the Madness

We’re a team of passionate filmmakers with backgrounds spanning independent films, commercial projects, and everything in between. Collectively, we’ve worked on productions of all sizes—from tight-knit creative shoots to large-scale sets—bringing a range of skills and experiences to the table.

Last year, we jumped into the Atlanta 48-Hour Film Project with our short film "Shepherd", and it paid off—we won Best Makeup and were nominated for Best Actor, an honor that affirmed what we could accomplish under pressure with creativity, hustle, and teamwork.

This year, we’re raising the bar. With your support, we’re aiming to not only create another unforgettable film in just 48 hours, but also expand its reach beyond a single screening. Our goal is to represent our city at Filmapalooza—and maybe even take our work to Cannes.

We know the chaos. We know the deadline. And we’re ready to deliver something bold. All we need is your support to make it happen.
