NEXT MEETING

Mastering the 48: Strategy, Skills, and Survival

Mark your calendar for our May meeting.

Join us for an evening with Raven and Kilna, the City Producers for the San Diego 48 Hour Film Project. This workshop is designed to deconstruct the "48" experience, moving beyond the ticking clock to show you how to build a high-functioning creative team and apply high-pressure production skills to your professional career.

What You’ll Learn

The workshop will provide a comprehensive roadmap for success, covering:

  • The Blueprint for Participation: A step-by-step guide to the rules, the kickoff, and the infamous "Drop-off."

  • Building a Dream Team: How to scout and recruit reliable crew and talent who can handle the 48-hour pressure cooker.

  • Workflow Strategy: Pro tips on managing time, from writing the script on Friday night to the final render on Sunday afternoon.

  • Beyond the Competition: How the intense collaboration and fast-paced problem-solving of the 48HFP translate into valuable skills for commercial and indie film sets.

Hosted at Elijah’s Restaurant, this event combines a professional deep-dive with the chance to network with San Diego’s media community.
