This past weekend, over 350 teams of filmmakers from around the world were challenged to create an original short film in just 24 hours based on a theme, prop, and action assignment.  This year's theme:  Identity Theft.  Assigned props ranged from noodles to shaving cream and the assigned actions ranged from stretching to looking through a peephole.  Come check out the premiere of the Calgary films and vote for your favorites!  See the screening information below for more details.
