About this Event

Now in our 15th year, Berkeley Community Media proudly offers this memorable adventure who's success depends on the imagination, skills and endurance of willing participants!

Berkeley Community Media is a non-profit public access TV station and a community hub for creative media makers. In this day and age, that's just about everyone! Round up some friends and come with a team, or make a team on the spot by jumping into another team, or, you can even go solo. If you are new to this kind of filmmaking sport, never fear, there are always others with just a bit more experience to bond and support filmmaking efforts.

The main emphasis is that the film MUST be created only during the 48 hour period August 22-24, 2025. How do we ensure this particular detail? We wait till the Launch 5pm August 22nd to reveal the 3 clues: An Object, A Phrase, and A Theme. We might be adding a Genre this year...still up in the air about that one...

Arrive on the steps of Berkeley Community Media 5pm Friday August 22nd to get the rules and the clues which you much fold into your film stew like a master chef.

Write, shoot, edit and submit your short film just 48 hours later by 6 pm. Films will be screened in front of a hungry live audience and broadcast live on Sunday August 24th 7pm.

See you in the movies!!!
