This is a tiny sort of maybe self link, kinda - I directed The Sceptre of MacGuffin - one of the finalists. In the space of 48 hours, more than 2000 people worked together to create more than 900 minutes worth of short film. I am still awestruck.

I managed to attend the finals, and i've gotta say the winner was well deserved. fantastic! 48Hrs for screenwriting / production / editing is a formidable effort for this piece. Sorry Sycophant, the Sceptre didnt do much for me

...or an alternative- 48 hours, a blank screen and a blinking question mark. Next year: 8mm, razor blades and cellotape

So does Vancouver. Apparently, one of the filmmakers writes, shoots, develops and edits on 16mm film - all in the 24 hour period. Pretty impressive.
