48 Hour Film Project – Houston

The 48 Hour Film Project Houston is the Houston chapter of the international timed filmmaking competition. Teams draw a genre at the kickoff, get a required character, prop and line of dialogue, and have one weekend to write, shoot and edit a 4–7 minute film, which then screens at a premiere with awards and an audience prize. The Best Film goes to Filmapalooza and is eligible for the project's screening at the Cannes Short Film Corner. Houston editions are listed from 2005 on, with no 2022 edition. The 2026 weekend was July 10–12, and the 2027 weekend is set for July 9–11. Team registration opens May 3, 2027, with a promotional rate from January 1.
