The short films on these DVD’s were created entirely in one weekend in 2010. More than 10,000 committed people, in more than 600 teams, competed around New Zealand. Each team drew a genre from a hat, and all teams were given a line of dialogue, a character, a prop and a special camera shot to include in their film and sent away to do the whole thing in 48 hours. This is a collection of the finalists from each region.
The winners from each area competed head-to-head with wildcard entries picked by Peter Jackson in a live TV final to decide the ultimate grand national winner of 48 HOURS!
