CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS

Of The 2020 CATV-WRIF 48 Hour Film Slam Competition

The winners were selected on many criteria including their story creativity, production quality and best overall use of the surprise elements provided.  The teams randomly selected a film genre in which they had to produce their short film.  They also had to include a prop (an orange) and a spoken line (“As they always say…”), AND they had to produce their short film in 48 hours from story idea to completed short film, AND they had to do this during a very real pandemic while keeping their crew safe.

Bravo to all the creative teams for completing this difficult task!!
