If you ever dreamed about producing your own short film, now is your chance.
Plans are underway for an event next spring called the Antigonish 48-hour Film Challenge. An information session to explain the challenge will be held on December 3rd from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Community Room of the People’s Place Library
One of the organizers, local filmmaker David Overmars says participants will be invited to create a short film from start to finish in just two days.
Overmars says after the participants hand in their film, they will immediately attend a red carpet event, where all productions will be shown and awards will be handed out.
Overmars says this challenge is part of a plan to rebuild and expand the local film scene. He’s also hopeful it will build momentum toward reviving an annual Antigonish Film Festival.
