The Avalon Film Festival is a new annual event, bringing independent filmmakers and their films into the spotlight. They are looking for all types of film creators, from beginners to experienced, to take on the 52-hour challenge. Starting immediately after the Filmmakers Meeting on Friday, April 25, filmmakers and their teams will have 52 hours to write, film, and edit a 6-8 minute film. Once the films are completed, they will be submitted to a panel of experts in the film industry who will judge the films and award prizes that will come with bragging rights and cash prizes.

All participants must attend the filmmaker meeting Friday, April 25, starting at 6:00 PM at The Avalon Theatre. Following the meeting, teams will get to work! All films will have a specific genre, chosen at Filmmaker Meeting, that they must stick to as they create their masterpiece. All films created as a part of this festival will be required to include a specific prop, line, and character that will be chosen by the festival ahead of time and announced at the Filmmaker Meeting.

The filming period will end, and all films must be submitted by 10 pm on Sunday, April 27. Once judging is complete, the films will be featured on the big screen for The Avalon Film Festival's public showing on Friday, August 1st at 7:00 pm, where prizes will be awarded to the top filmmakers.
