Last weekend the eighth annual Little Cinema/Galway City of Film 48 Hour Challenge had 10 teams each create a five-minute film within 48 hours.
Each team had a surprise prop to use; everything from ukuleles to a computer mouse and a headless bear fairy. The genre was Horror, the line they had to include was "that can't be real" and teams had to use a "whip-pan shot".
There was a full house with loads of laughter and banter on Sunday evening for the screening at the Town Hall Theatre. There were a range of categories, including 'best use of prop', 'audience award', and 'best film'.
The judges were Lelia Doolan, Linda Gannon, Dave Moran and Máire Ní Chonláin, and the winning film - Reality Check, by Team All Sorts - will be screened at Galway Film Fleadh in 2025.
