The Asheville division of 48 Hour Film Project recently sent 41 teams of regional filmmakers all over Asheville in a mad dash to create the best short film they could in two days flat. The films were written, cast, shot and edited on the weekend of July 20, and screened last week at the Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company.

The awards ceremony will be held tonight, July 30, at 7 p.m. at Cinebarre in the Biltmore Square Mall.

Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
