The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless weekend in which you and a team make a movie—write, shoot, edit and score it—in just 48 hours.

On Friday night, you get a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all to include in your movie. 48 hours later, the movie must be complete. Then it will show at a local theater, usually in the next week.

In 2008, some 30,000 filmmakers made films in 70 cities. This year, we’re even bigger, with filmmakers around the world taking the challenge to make a film in just 48 hours.

Here are the elements we had to work with:
Genre: Film de Femme
Character: Tim or Tina Flagler, Unemployed Musician
Prop: a tire (any kind of tire)
Line of Dialogue: “I need to leave in a minute.”
