SATO 48 Partnership
We are happy to again partner with Springfield And The Ozarks (SATO) 48 organizers to highlight several of the filmmakers who participated in the 2012 SATO 48 film challenge. Teams competed in creating a five-minute short film over the course of a single weekend – 48 hours in spring 2012. None of the teams know what their film must be about until they all open, simultaneously, a secret “Inspiration Package,” which describes the criteria of the short film. It is then up to each individual filmmaking team to interpret the criteria, produce their 5-minute film, and deliver it within the 48-hour time limit. Join us before selected feature films to sample some of the talented local filmmakers’ work.
