MICHAEL SWAN: 72-HOUR FILM COMPETITION >>>

Thursday, April 30, a bunch of local filmmakers will be given a) a line of dialogue, b) a location, c) a prop, and d) an action ... and told to go make a short movie. Oh, and they will have 72 hours to do it from start to finish, including writing, acting, producing, editing, and directing.

So, think you can do it? Can you do it all in just three days? Do you have vision, drive, stamina … and 50 bucks? Well then, aspiring auteur, cinematic glory awaits you at The Grand Cinema.

You and your crew have a chance to win in six categories: best use of prop, best use of phrase, best use of location, best use of action, best overall film and the coveted Audience Choice Award.
