48 Hour Film Project – Dallas

The 48 Hour Film Project Dallas is the Dallas chapter of the international timed filmmaking competition. At a Friday kickoff each team draws a genre and gets a required character, prop and line of dialogue, then has 48 hours to write, shoot and edit a 4–7 minute short. Finished films screen at a premiere in a local cinema, followed by judged awards and an audience favorite in each screening group. The Best Film represents Dallas at Filmapalooza, the project's international festival. The city page lists Dallas editions every year from 2006 through 2026; the 2026 weekend ran May 1–3. A 2027 Dallas event is listed but has no dates yet. Registration is open to any team.
