Sarasota Film Society to Host 2010 Guerrilla Film Competition!

06/May/2010, Sarasota, FL. – The Sarasota Film Society will host the 2010 48 Hour Guerrilla Film Competition, providing both it’s Burns Court and Lakewood Ranch locations to kick off and wrap the grueling two-day event.

The competition will begin at 7:00pm on Friday, May 21st at Burns Court Cinemas where teams will draw a random line of dialogue, a prop, a genre and an action.  48 Hours later, they will return to the same location to drop off their completed short films, shot entirely during the weekend.  On Saturday, May 29th, the teams will gather at Lakewood Ranch Cinemas for a morning screening of all films followed that evening by the wrap party and awards ceremony where the winners will be recognized.

The 48GFC is a two-day educational event created to encourage filmmakers to produce quality works that directly feature the sights, sounds and locales of Sarasota and the Florida Gulf Coast.  By providing a framework and strict timetable, contestants are forced to endure the unforgiving pressures of the filmmaking world, all while being as creative as possible.  Entries are judged across a spectrum of categories with creativity and originality weighted most heavily.  Each entry is judged by a panel of industry experts, ensuring that only the best films are awarded top prizes.  The judging panel puts heavy emphasis on creativity and originality rather than budget or quality of equipment used by the team.

The 48GFC is proudly sponsored by The Sarasota Film Society.
