| | Music | Mission
The 48 Hour Film Project's mission is to advance filmmaking and promote filmmakers. Through its festival/competition, the Project encourages filmmakers and would-be filmmakers to get out there and make movies. The tight deadline of 48 hours puts the focus squarely on the filmmakers—emphasizing creativity and teamwork skills. While the time limit places an unusual restriction on the filmmakers, it is also liberating by putting an emphasis on "doing" instead of "talking."

The Official Site of Pittsburgh’s 48 Hour Film Festival
My name is Rick Frisco and I will be producing Pittsburgh’s 48 Hour Film Festival.
A Board of Directors have been assembled to help in the planning and organizing of the event. Board members are: Jay Kuntz, Jessica Conner and Myself. Thank these people when you can; they have been a big help in the event.
Our plan is simple. To bring filmmaking talent together in a festival/competition style event that helps form a bond between talent and local services and offerings. There is no better way to showcase what the Pittsburgh Area has to offer, than to put the results on screen. Our showcase will view from local screenings to international viewings.
Our goal is to exceed the standards of the national company and set a new standard, both artistically and through participation.
The Festival will facilitate actors, writers, musicians, camera ops, Editor/producers etc…
Our 2007 Project has had 35 Entries with only 28 teams being able to compete in the event due to the screening process.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions/concerns,

Announces 2008 Film Festival
The 2nd Annual Pittsburgh 48 Hour Film Festival will take place
June 6th -8th, 2008
Pittsburgh, PA, April 5th, 2008 – The Pittsburgh 48 Hour Film Festival (P48_08), announced today the sequence of events for the 2nd annual 48 Hour Film Festival to be held June 6-8 2008. The Opening Night for the Festival will gather over 28 Teams of Local and National Film Production Artists receiving their unknown Packets of Production information. The teams will be competing in the 48 Hour Film Project’s tour to find “The Best 48 Hour Film of 2008.” Local film teams will have just 48 hours to make a film – from writing and shooting to editing and adding music. The films will have their International Premier the week following the production weekend.
The 48 Hour Film Project is held in over 70 cities in the US, plus Paris and Brisbane Australia. Pittsburgh films are eligible for awards, such as Audience Winner, Best Cinematography and Best Editing. One team will be selected as the Pittsburgh City Winner and will go on to compete against teams from other cities. The Top 8 teams will go on to compete in the HD Filmmaker Showdown sponsored by Visa and Panasonic. The winning filmmaker of the Showdown will receive $7500 as well as distribution for its film.
“We are very excited about the powerful lineup of genre’s we have for this year’s festival that continues our goal of bringing the finest films throughout the world to Pittsburgh,” said Mr. Rick Frisco, local producer of The 48 Hour Film Project. “We are able to dazzle participants and festival-goers this second year thanks to the wonderful P48_08 teams, colleges and local employees as well as our generous sponsors.”
"The second annual 48 Hour Film Festival in Pittsburgh represents the best of today’s world cinema. It introduces new cinematic voices from local talent, and teams across the US,” said Festival Director Jay Kuntz. “ Film festivals now serve a key role as a new channel of distribution which replaces in many cases the traditional art house as a venue for the introduction of high quality, challenging cinema. The Pittsburgh 48 Hour Film Festival is proud to be part of a movement which brings significant new films to a wide audience."
The city screenings will be on Tuesday, June 17th and Wednesday June 18th, 2008 at 7:00 and 9:30 PM the recipients of each award will be announced during the Awards Ceremony on Friday June 20th at 7:00 PM. Please let us know if you would like to attend.
Below is information about this year’s competition. We would like to extend the invitation not only to attend the screening of the films but to spend the weekend on set with any of the local film teams. Please let me know if you would like to speak to the Pittsburgh Producer, or any of the local filmmakers competing in the weekend. For further information, please visit:
