48 Hour Film Project Milwaukee Premiere Screening
The 48 Hour Film Project Milwaukee is back for its seventh year! We gave local filmmakers a challenge: write, capture, and assemble a short film in just 48 hours based on randomly assigned elements. See the results first hand in the beautiful and historic Oriental Theatre. Audience voting determines an audience choice winner! A question and answer with the local filmmakers follows the screening. Two unique screenings: 7pm and 8:30pm. Tickets: $10 at the box office per screening. More information here: http://48hourfilm.com/milwaukee
