Richmond – 48 hour film project – July 11-13 – registration fee

Show us what you can do in 48 hours!

The clock is ticking! The Richmond 48 Hour Film Project is back for its 20th year, and it’s your chance to be part of RVA’s most exciting creative challenge. From July 11–13, filmmakers from around the city—and beyond—will race to write, shoot, and edit a short film in just two wild days.

Here’s the twist: you won’t know your genre, character, prop, or line of dialogue until right before the countdown begins. That’s when the madness starts—and the magic happens.

Wanna lead the charge?
Gather your crew, claim your spot, and sign up during Early Bird registration for the lowest rate. There’s nothing like the rush of seeing your film hit the big screen with your cast, crew, and cheering fans in the audience. Early Bird Registration ends Tuesday, June 17!

Got skills but no team?
We’ve got you. Join us at our Networking Mixer on Thursday, June 19, from 6–7:30 p.m. at Harry’s at the Hof (2818 W. Broad St.). Whether you’re a DP, editor, PA, AD—or just love being on set—this is where connections are made and teams are born. No sign-up needed. Just show up ready to jump in.

This is your shot.
Make the weekend count.
