Fw: The 48 Hour Film Project Returns in 2010... plus some extra fun!

Hi 48 Hour Filmmakers and Fans!  The 48 Hour Film Project returns to Pittsburgh in 2010!  We'll be soon with the most exciting 48 filmmaking hours of your  life!  Keep an eye out here for official dates and the start of  registration.  In the meantime, we have a lot of cool things coming up.  Including, a chance to:  1. Vote your least favorite genre "Off the Island!"  2. Make a 48HFP Music Video  - no time limit!  3. Attend our end of the year extravaganza - Filmapalooza in Vegas!  YOUR VOTE COUNTS!  Take this short, and I mean really short survey, to help us decide the  official genres this year.  Tell us which to keep and which to get rid  of in  2010.  (A note to you lovers and haters of our beloved  "Musical/Western"... it's not going anywhere, so vote for something  else to get rid of or keep.)  This is also your chance to make  suggestions for the required Character/Prop/Line of Dialogue for  cities throughout the world, so put those thinking caps on!  Go here to take the survey:  http://www.surveymonkey.com/48HFP_genres_elements2010  MAKE A MUSIC VIDEO!  That's right... here's your chance to take a little more time to make  your masterpiece 48HFP film.  Make a Music Video to "You Have 48  Hours" by Bill Briare.  We invite you to make a music video -- in  whole or in part -- and we'll mix the submissions together for the  best music video ever and post it on our website and on YouTube.  The deadline for submissions is February 28th, so don't miss out.  For  more info, go to:  http://www.48hourfilm.com/competitions/musicvideo/  ATTEND FILMAPALOOZA in VEGAS!  We'll be in Vegas to celebrate the fantastic 48HFP filmmaking of 2009  and we hope you'll join us.  Filmapalooza is April 10-12 at the NAB  Show.  We'll screen all the 2009 City Winning Films, the winning  Showdown and National Film Challenge films, network with filmmakers  from around the world and party like it's 2010.  Registration for Filmapalooza is only $25... AND it includes access to  the NAB Show Floor for free!  Go here to register:  http://www.filmapalooza.org  We hope you'll take part in one or all of the above! --Kahmeela and Nina Kahmeela Adams Nina Gibbs  48 Hour Film Project  http://www.48hourfilm.com
