Filmmakers from the Richmond area raced to make a film in just 48 hours, and you can see the best of them in the Best of Richmond Horror Screenings!
The 48 Hour Film Project (48HFP) is the world's largest timed film competition, and it has returned to Richmond as a part of the 2022 international tour. One film will be chosen by a panel of film professionals as the "Best 48 Hour Horror Film of Richmond" and that film will move on to screen at Filmapalooza, and even get a shot at a screening in next year's Cannes Film Festival! A runner-up and awards in numerous other categories will also be awarded immediately after the screenings. Congratulations to the following teams/films listed in screening order:
“Chime” by Mad Crab & Eckz Productions, Corbin Rowell - The teenage daughter of a conservative family finds her parents acting abnormally.
