Film & Visual Effects
The annual 48 Hour Film competition typically happens around June/July every year. Teams produce a 5 minute film commencing on Friday night @7pm - where you receive a genre and multiple random creative elements to implement into your film. Teams submit their film by 7pm on the Sunday night.

Teams were tasked to produce a 3 minute max film, shot on your own property and filmed only within one's quarantine bubble. (With the flexibility to work remotely within your team, outside of your bubble).
