The National Film Challenge is an exhilarating worldwide filmmaking competition from the creators of the 48 Hour Film Project and KDHX Community Media. The Premise: Participating teams have just one weekend to write, shoot and edit a short film or video. Regardless of where you live, this is your opportunity to experience the 48 Hour Film Project phenomenon!

Just like in the 48HFP, you'll receive a character, prop, line of dialogue, and a genre through this website at 7pm local time, October 19. Then you'll have to submit the film on October 22.  In the following weeks the top films (determined by a national panel of judges) will be available for viewing (and voting!) on this website. The winning films will screen with the 48HFP City Winners at the next Filmapalooza in Los Angeles, the 48HFP's end of year event. In addition there are cash prizes for the winning films!
