WHO IS THIS FOR?

 

The LOST WEEKEND 48h film challenge is specifically aimed at everyone from beginner filmmakers with no prior experience, to seasoned pros. Beginners will find it a great learning experience, pros might find it to be an exciting way to loosen things up a bit again. This is an opportunity to experiment and to have fun. Remember, no one is going to judge you for making mistakes! The only mistake in a 48h film challenge is to waste precious time, so don't worry and don't fret - just get it done!

 

We encourage people of all ages to join, children included, but for the kick-off event and the delivery, minors need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

 

If you want to join or create a team, but none of your friends are interested, our Discord server is there to help -> https://discord.gg/BJCr86wq. You might come out of this not only with a new film to your name but also a group of brand-new like-minded friends!

WHAT IS THIS GOOD FOR?

 

For experienced filmmakers, making movies can quickly become a rather serious affair. There are all kinds of pressures - creative or financial - that can take away from the joy of creating and experimenting. Here’s an opportunity to simply have fun again. Filmmaking doesn't need to take months of your time - or cost you a fortune. It can be quick, cheap and fun!

 

Also, we are strong believers in the democratic nature of filmmaking. You don’t need a diploma to make a film, to act, or to make film music. It’s a craft that is best learned by doing. So if you’ve never done it before, here’s a chance to try it out.

 

Finally, there’s something to be said about stress, not sleeping enough, drinking too much coffee, constant adrenaline… As far as we're concerned, there's no better way to spend a weekend!
