The Return of DVMISSION 48 Hour Film Challenge: the 26th Day – will you take the challenge? • DV Mission

#DVMISSION22 is open for team registration and is coming back to a real venue in real life on the 26^th day of February 2022. Yes it’s that time of year when filmmakers dust of their cameras, bush up their script writing skills and put on a pair of working boots. Plus, this year we are running a series of virtual networking events in the run up to the 2022 challenge. We will be inviting challenge veterans to answer your questions and offer top tips for avoiding that feeling of panic as the clock ticks towards the final minutes of the 48 hour film challenge.

If you are not sure what a 48 Hour Film Challenge is – it is like a film race where you make a 2-minute film against the clock. It’s great fun, it’s an amazing networking event and you get to produce a film for your portfolio. It’s easy enough:

Register your team via Filmfreeway – follow the link on our website and there is also a handy guide here!
Get ready for the challenge weekend which starts at 5pm on Friday 18^th February.
Follow our socials to ensure you get the obstructions (genre, line of dialogue and title) when we release them.
Post your behind the scenes photos and video to be in with a chance of winning the Best Social Media award.
Submit your film by 5pm Sunday 20^th February.
Sit back, have a cup of tea and await the following Saturday 26^th February at The Wedgewoood Rooms for the gala screening, awards and immersive experience.
Don’t forget to dress up for the event – strict door policy fancy dress or awards night posh!
