The OKC 48 Hour Film Project is the Oklahoma City chapter of the global 48 Hour Film Project, which is the world's oldest and largest filmmaking competition, challenging filmmakers to create short films in a single weekend. Established in 2011, this annual event provides a platform for local talent, fosters a creative community, and offers opportunities for training, education, and networking for both new and seasoned filmmakers. The winning film from Oklahoma City advances to Filmapalooza and is eligible for a screening at the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner. The Oklahoma Film + Music Office partners with the OKC 48 Hour Film Project, presenting awards and helping to premiere the qualifying films.
