Netflix may have finished filming on PEI but that doesn’t mean PEI has stopped filming.

Five teams from Prince Edward Island participated in the Atlantic Canada 48 Hour Film Project. Where each team must write, film, edit and submit a short film in 48 hours.

Screen Acting PEI is proud to be a sponsor for PEI P.O.V. Productions one of the PEI teams this year! A team of ten, nine of them being women!

Every team was given the following parameters:
~ Character
Blondie or Blake Jackson - a Freelancer
~ Line of Dialogue
”You should write a book.”
~ Prop
a Circle (anything in the shape of a circle)

Along with two random genres (different for each team) that they chose from to apply to their project.

Tomorrow Morning, Premiere Screenings will take place in Halifax, NS. Followed by the Best of Awards Ceremony.

PEI has some fantastic talent and this team is a great example, congratulations!
