After intense regional heats all around the country, the HP48HOURS Grand National Final on November 25 at the Civic will reveal which short filmmaking teams take out awards and just who will walk away with the glory of being crowned Grand Champion of HP48HOURS 2016. The prizes are generous and of great value to the careers and dreams of the winners. The full prize list is here: 48Hoursprizes
The HP48HOURS national guerilla filmmaking competition challenges teams to write, shoot, edit and score a film of up to five minutes duration over a single 48-hour period. This year the competition received 550 entries in seven regions, backed for the first time this year by HP, a company known as the real power behind the film industry.
The films were made over the weekend of September 16-18, with participants ranging from high school teams to experienced filmmakers, actors and comedians. And groups of mates getting together to get creative with a camera.
Past winners have included Taika Waititi (Hunt for the Wilderpeople) TheDownLowConcept (7Days) and Gerard Johnstone (Housebound).
Every year, Sir Peter Jackson, the long-standing patron of the event, chooses his slate of “wildcard” finalists. (This year’s four are listed below). He has noted the ability of the competition to uncover passionate and skilled new filmmakers.
Competition Organiser since 2003, Ant Timpson, says, "This year’s international judges were impressed by the standard of the finalists and the way the competition unearths and encourages the next storytellers of New Zealand". (Judges are listed below)
This year’s Grand Finalists include two teams (Viva La Dirt League and Haynesfilm) who have also just been granted ‘Skip Ahead’ funding from NZOnAir - “NZ On Air and YouTube have established this co-funding initiative to enable successful YouTubers to make the leap to creating narrative-driven webseries content.” More info here: skipahead
