It's summer and you know what that means. Yes, the 48 Hour Film Project is back, meaning it's time for local filmmakers — and those who would be filmmakers — to put themselves to the test in the ultimate cinematic pressure cooker. This is the Project's fifth consecutive year in Asheville, and the basic notion is to create a movie running no less than four minutes and no more than seven minutes in, well, 48 hours.

That basic notion, however, is just the beginning of the undertaking’s calculated insanity. As if making an entire film in 48 hours isn't daunting enough, the process has certain added challenges. Filmmaking teams arrive at home base (Asheville Pizza & Brewing Co.) knowing only that they'll be making a movie.
