The Miami 48-Hour Film Project is an annual short film contest held in Miami, Florida, that challenges filmmakers to create a short film within a 48-hour timeframe. Teams are assigned a specific genre, character, prop, and line of dialogue that must be incorporated into their production. Originating in 2005, it serves as the Miami chapter of the broader 48 Hour Film Project, which organizes similar competitions in numerous cities worldwide. The winning film from Miami advances to Filmapalooza, an international festival where city winners from around the globe are screened and judged.
