Cool event at the Phoenix Art Museum coming up. It’s the summer 48 hour film challenge. On July 16th, 33 teams will be given a film genre, a line of dialogue and a prop that they have to use to make a three minute film. They then have just 48 hours to write, shoot and edit that film and turn it in. All 33 films that are completed will be screened at this event. Then you show up at one of the two screenings and have a blast.

You can buy tickets online at the Tucson Art Museum website. Go to the Events page, scroll down and find the links.
