Do you love the 48HFP so much you'd like to do it again? Well, now is your
chance--sign up for the[3] Four Points Film Project, the official sister
competition to the 48HFP!

4PFP returns this November 13th-16th. It follows the same basic idea of the
48HFP--to write, produce, and edit a short film in just a weekend using
elements that aren't revealed until 7pm on Friday, November 13th. However
the 4PFP is completely online--elements are announced via email and all
films must be completed by Monday at 11:59pm local time. The winning film
will screen at next year's Cannes Film Festival!

Registration is currently open--sign up by October 19th to take advantage
of special Early Bird rates. The Four Points Film Project is open to all
filmmakers around the world, regardless of whether or not you live in a
48HFP city. Go to[4] http://fourpointsfilmproject.com  to learn more
information and sign up now!

LA Filmmakers Get Red Carpet Proposal
[9]A filmmaking couple got something extra-special at the Best of Los
Angeles 48HFP. In true 48HFP-style, team Moxie's Kevin Thomas got down on
one knee on the red carpet to ask co-team leader Susan Papa for her hand in
marriage. The proposal was captured in this video. In addition, their film
"Zoe and the Prince" was awarded Runner-Up for Best Film in this year's
48HFP--which means they came in 2nd place, from among 174 teams!
Congratulations to the whole team, but especially to Susan and Kevin on
their engagement!

48HFP Alumni Achievements: "Dusk" Gloriously Dawns At Festivals Around The
U.S.
Behind the scenes of "Dusk"

We know our talented filmmakers work on many great projects outside of the
48HFP, so we're running a new segment to feature them! 48HFP Alumni
Achievements showcases the work done by some of our top 48HFP alumn. To
kick us off this month, we've chosen Dog Day Films' feature Dusk. The film
was written, directed, produced, and edited by Michael Maney with Ryan
Lewis serving as co-producer and DP. Both Maney and Lewis are based out of
Cincinnati, Ohio, where their team Dog Day Films has competed in the 48HFP.
They each sport an extensive background in commercial, TV, and film
production in addition to the 48HFP.

Dusk is a complex thriller that involves a missing wife, a twisted plan,
and a heart-stopping revelation. John Whitmore's world is turned upside
down when he wakes one morning to find his wife has been kidnapped, and in
her place is a mysterious recording demanding John's life savings in
exchange for her life. John enlists the help of his best friend, and
together they set out for the rendezvous point. But as night falls, John
begins to question everyone and everything involved, including his own
sanity. Dusk has been featured this year at the Cleveland International
Film Festival, Cincinnati Film Festival, Woods Hole Film Festival, and
Dances With Films in Los Angeles. For more information visit
[64]http://www.duskfilm.com.

Lewis attributes the 48HFP with being a large contributor as to the way in
which they were able to complete the film so quickly:

I think the biggest reason we were able to complete principal photography
on "Dusk" on time and under budget was because of our entries in the 48
Hour Film Project.  We learned to work efficiently and be confident with
the decisions we made on the fly because, much like a 48 Hour Film, you
don't have time to second guess yourself on a feature. We shot the film in
19 days and didn't have the option of not making our day, every day. We
simply didn't have the budget for overtime or to shift actor, crew or
location schedules around -- so working quickly and confidently is
definitely a skill you get to understand on 48HFP films, and we're
extremely thankful that we were prepared going into this film.

Are you a 48HFP alumni that is working on something big? Send details to
[65]newsletter at 48hourfilm.com and maybe we'll feature you!
