Lovers of a good headline would appreciate today’s V48 Hours release, titled Thousands of Filmmakers Terrorize Small Country. The release stressed the branding, making it clear that the festival was no longer to be known as the 48 Hour Film Project, Film Competition, Furious Filming, Furious Film Festival Competition or even Filmmaking Festival. It is now V48HOURS or V48.
This will be the 8th V48. Past winners have included the talented likes of Taika Waititi (Eagle Vs Shark, Boy), Gerard Johnstone (The Jaquie Brown Diaries) and The Downlow Concept (7 Days).
