Reno 48 Hour Film project 2025
Thank you for your interest in joining our team, Formerly Known As (Eddy Westin and Company) - get it? We used to do it as a work thing and then it just turned into my thing as my partners were off doing other things. So, that’s where the name came from.
This is my fourth year participating in the Reno 48 Hour Film Project, and I figured I would finally get it together from an organizational standpoint. So please fill out the form as I have all the information I need, and please note the schedule on this page. I will update the schedule as more information becomes available.
Some Notes…
For the first year ever I am asking for money to participate, it is optional and if you can’t afford it or don’t see the value you’re not required to give me money to be on our team. I am asking for $10.00 per person to help cover the cost of food, t-shirts, props, etc.. Normally I fund these projects on my own but with my other endeavors at the moment it is a bit challenging. So, any money is appreciated. If there is money left over (there probably won’t be) I will put it towards screening tickets.
