PoP48 is Pacific Cooperation Broadcasting Ltd’s first ever 48hour filmmaking competition.
20 teams representing four Pasifika nations have 48 hours to write, shoot and cut a 4 -6 minute short film. Throw in a given theme, line of dialogue and a prop into the mix; and now your short Pasifika film has just gone from snappy to savvy!
The selected affiliate broadcasters in the four Islands will select 5 teams each to represent their Island nation for the challenge. Viewers will then get to vote for their favourite film when all 20 films are aired exclusively on PBCL platforms in September. The winning team will be announced in September.
The PoP48 champions will receive the coveted title of the very first PoP48hr Film Challenge recipients, plus be awarded the grand prize of a trip to Hawaii for a film masterclass.
