UC San Diego Extensions Digital Arts Center, Video and Editing program students participated in The 48 Hour Film Project, this past August 5-7, 2011. The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless weekend in which teams of filmmakers are assigned one character, one prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, and asked to create a movie within a two day deadline. Upon completion, the movies are screened at local theaters, and awards are given for numerous categories such as Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Writing, and Best Film.
