Project Pioneer 2880 - Script to DVD in 48 hours. Pioneer Electronics presented an extreme DVD making competition. Film students from top filmmaking universities in the U.S.A. and Canada were chosen to create 10-minute shorts all within 48 hours (2880 minutes).

HBO's Project Green Light winner, Pete Jones created a one paragraph scenario and each student team had to create a script, recruit a cast, scout locations, shoot, and edit the footage. Then author a full featured 16:9 DVD, including behind the scenes footage, within the required 48 hour time frame.

With a tight deadline, shoe-string budget, non-stop action and commitment to high quality in every aspect of movie making our group at the Academy of Art College made a National award winning narrative, five thousand dollars; giving us momentum to keep creative ideas alive.
