i48 AND SO CAN YOU



Have you ever wondered why you haven't made a film? Alright, so I might be alone here, but even if you're not entering a film in the competion (which is in it's 6th year) it would be very entertaining checking all of the others out on June 6th.

Here is the scoop:
48 Hour Film Competion and Festival . Modeled after an event that originated in Washington D.C. Teams of filmmakers from all over idaho will have 48 hours to write, pre-produce, cast, shoot and edit an original short film (4-7 minutes long) One week later there is a screening at the Flicks downtown with a "Best OF i48" Screeening and Awards Ceremony at the Egyptian. If you're not in the area, there will be screenings in other partcipation cities throughout the state. Films can be shot in any format and can include genres such as drama, action, mock-u-mentary, music video, documentary, silent film, noir, science fiction... pretty much whatever you've got!

Competition: May 29-31
Registration Deadline: May 18
Registration After May 9: $100
All Films Festival: Saturday, June 6
Best of i48: Sunday, June 7

If you don't have the film bug, go check out the screening. Obviously not the best event to bring your kids to (I can imagine a crazy two year old, who I know pretty well, crawling under seats and screaming amidst the silence) but it would make a great night out! For more info check the website

Want dinner, too? Wait for Restaurant.com to run an awesome sale (often times 80% OFF... that's a $25 gift certificate for $2 since they're already discounted) and you've got a date. There are plenty of restaurants near the Flicks and Egyptian that are participants on Restaurant.com. Asiagos, Bar Gernika, Cazba, and Mai Thai to name a few.
