With other awards given for Best Film, Audience Choise and Best Use of a Line, Best Use of Character and Best Use of Prop,  it seems as though there were awards for almost everyone who entered.  Congratulations to all who did and won.

As described on The 48 Hour Film Project website:
The 48 Hour Film Project-Detroit is a wild and sleepless weekend in which you and a team make a movie – write, shoot, and edit – in just 48 hours. On Friday night, teams draw a genre from a hat. They are then given a character, prop and line to include in their films. On Sunday night, in a wild dash to the drop off event, the film is turned in – and teams celebrate. The film is then screened at a local theater in front of an audience of filmmakers, friends and families.

The films screen to sold-out audiences in every city visited. Of course the filmmakers, actors, family and friends are there to enthusiastically support the premiere of the weekend’s work. Add to that supporters of the local film community, and discriminating viewers who want to see something new—something raw and alive—are there to feel the creative energy and you can see why the 48 Hour Film Project plays to sold out crowds.
