48-Hour Film Festival
ModestoView is proud to be a sponsor of one of Modesto’s most creative events. The 48-hour film festival brings Modesto’s best and diverse film-making community to a race to write, create and produce a short film in 48 hours. Since its inception, the competition has produced over 650 films, awarded more than $31,000 in prizes, and sold out the State Theatre’s 550 seats two years running. You can feel the excitement as these teams present their films. Modesto’s film community has really shined in so many ways and it’s possible that the next George Lucas will be competing in this contest. Here’s how it works, the teams meet at the State Theatre, get their theme and prompt,(an element that must appear in each film) and then a genre and off they go. Do not miss the finale and the ModestoView award is for the best film shot on iPhone.
