Updated Best of DC List: 24 Teams

We got an updated email from Mark Ruppert today, apologizing for missing a few teams from the "Best of DC" round screening next week. So I've updated the list accordingly.

We've been able to find most of the films online, and not surprisingly, there are some really fantastic contenders this year. Again, South County United is so excited to be among the top 24, what an elite crowd we've found ourselves in!

I'm providing some links below to the films we've found. If your team is listed below without a link to your film, I just couldn't find it with a Google search, so pop me a note with your URL and I'll update it, thanks! And congrats, hope to meet some fellow filmmakers next Thursday.

I'm in Jungle Rules (we made the film de femme "Koma") and we're pretty psyched to have made the Top 20 in our second year... we've improved a lot ;-)

If anyone's interested, I tracked down online versions for most of last year's top films.; May 25, 2010 at 7:06 PM

48hfp DC 2009: From Behind the Cornhole

Click the black title card image below to watch "From Behind the Cornhole", our 2009 film entry for the Washington, D.C. 48HFP. The 48HFP judges picked our film for the "Best of DC" round of screenings. "From Behind the Cornhole" showed in the earlier of two "Best of DC" screenings, which put our team approximately 18th out of over 100 films.
