24 Hour-ish Film Festival Team Pickup Tonight

The 24 Hour-ish Film Festival, the annual event put on by Film Athens wherein teams are given a line of dialogue, a prop, a special requirement and 24 hours… -ish (very -ish; it’s actually more like 42 hours, but who’s counting) to create a short film, happens Wednesday, Apr. 23 at Flicker Theatre & Bar

But if you’re interested in entering a movie into the competition, you’ve gotta scoot on down to Flicker between 4 and 6 p.m. today to get briefed on your mission. There’s no pre-registration required (though there is a $20 entrance fee per team for non-Film Athens members); just show up and get crackin’.

Completed films are due back at Flicker on Sunday, Apr. 13 at noon. Cash prizes will be awarded to the Audience Choice and Judges’ Choice winners following the Apr. 23 screenings.
