The Short Film, Literally Made in 48 Hours, Also Takes Home Best in Genre (Film de Femme), Best Graphics and Best Director

Nominated for 14 awards in total, director Motke Dapp‘s short romantic comedy, Everyday Yeti, takes home the top prize at this year’s 48 Hour Film Festival! As a result, the film will represent Nashville at Filmapalooza – the culmination of all 48 Hour Film Projects around the world – in Atlanta at the beginning of next year.

The story, written by Dapp, David Perry and Ryan Heartsick, centers around Phineas’s (Matt) imaginary friend Yeti (Sara Antonio Murphy), who longs to be seen, but finds it difficult to fit in, especially as Phineas begins to pursue a new love interest.

About the 48 Hour Film Project
Founded in 2001, The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless weekend in which you and a team make a movie – write, shoot, edit and score it – in just 48 hours. On Friday night, you get a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre. 48 hours later, you submit your finished film. The movies will screen at a local theater, usually in the next week. 

About Filmapalooza
Filmapalooza is the culmination of all 48 Hour Film Projects from over 130 countries around the world. Filmmakers from each winning city are invited to screen their films at Filmapalooza, and the filmmakers meet (and party) as they compete for the international title of Best Film. The 48 Hour Film Project has also partnered with The Cannes Film Festival (or Festival de Cannes) for the last few years. A small selection of the top films from around the world will be screened at one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world as a part of the Short Film Corner.
