The 72-Hour Teen Film Challenge is a filmmaking competition exclusively for teenagers 13-19 years old. The competition enables teens to showcase their filmmaking talents, empowering them to collaborate in small groups and combine talents to produce a film in three days. Teens often work in groups with friends as well as with other filmmakers. All pre-production, production, and post-production take place in 72 hours, including scriptwriting, film shooting, editing, and sound design.
