A Letter from the Founders

Liz Langston Mark Ruppert

We’re starting a new thing – a letter from the 48HFP founders, Mark Ruppert
and myself. We can give you a bit of insight into what happens behind the
scenes, here at the exciting 48HFP HQ.

At this time of year our US tour is completed and our International Tour is in
full swing. This was a BIG weekend for us – we had contests in six cities – and
truly around the world – Scotland, Dublin, Ho Chi Minh City, Warsaw, Mongolia
and Paris. Paris set a world record of 173 teams! Just think about that. That’s
15 screenings! Imagine trying to rent a light kit when everyone in all of Paris
is making a movie.

Of course Mark and I would have loved to have been flying around the world to
visit the cities but this was also a special weekend here in the U.S. We were in
Dover, VT with most of our HQ crew, doing strategic planning for the new year
AND attending the ITVFest. We partnered with ITVFest to show six of our
Northeastern U.S. winning films which competed for $2000 in prizes from ITVFest.
You’ll see more about that in this newsletter.

The next BIG THING for us is our Four Points Film Project – formerly the
National Film Challenge, coming up Oct 24-27. We changed the name because we are
no longer “national”- we’re worldwide! Some day we’ll be intergalactic. Jump on
board now, while you still can! Here’s hoping you have a great and creative
October.

ITVFest Winners: Best 48HFP Film "Driven" from Boston

48HFP filmmakers, producers, and HQ at ITVFest

Most of the 48HFP HQ staff along with a group of our filmmakers and producers
spent last weekend at the 9th annual [7]Independent Television and Film
Festival (ITVFest) in beautiful Dover, Vermont. As part of a special
sponsorship, ITVFest featured a special screening of the Best 2014 Films from
six of our Northeastern U.S. cities along with a special meet & greet for our
48HFP filmmakers. It was a great weekend of short film, TV, and webisode
screenings, film panels, and events that culminated with a beautiful Awards Gala
and party. All the ITVFest winners were announced along with the Best 48HFP Film
from ITVFest--congratulations to "Driven" by Brainfox/In the Car from Boston. In
addition to their trophy the team also wins $2000 courtesy of ITVFest--half as a
cash prize, and half as a travel stipend for the winning filmmakers to attend
Filmapalooza in Hollywood next March. Huge compliments go out to all our 48HFP
filmmakers and producers in attendance, not only for their awesome films but
also for representing the spirit of 48HFP!

Great opportunity for filmmakers-make money selling content to Pond5!

[11][jpeg]

Did you know that in addition to being a huge resource for stock music, sound
effects, graphics, and more for filmmakers, that you could also make money by
selling your content to [12]Pond5? Part of the reason Pond5 has grown to be
called "the world's stock media marketplace" is by offering filmmakers,
photographers, and content creators the opportunity to sell their own original
media through Pond5. The video above outlines how you can shoot and upload your
own media through Pond5's website.

In addition, the site offers a variety of tutorials on their Youtube Channel on
how to use their media--they cover everything from effects interfaces with
Premier and After Effects to their Media Maker Spotlight and special PondCast.

Through a special sponsorship with 48HFP this year, registered 48HFP filmmakers
recieve 50 free sound effects to use during their film weekend, plus a $25 gift
certificate to download Pond5 media*. In addition, the top three winners in each
city will win a $100 Pond5 gift certificate. For more information on Pond5 visit
them at [13]http://www.pond5.com.
