Teams are given a film ‘title, genre and line of dialogue’ at 17.00hrs on Friday night.
They then have 48-Hours to return with a finished two-minute film.

The first challenge had 8 teams enter and 6 teams made it across the finish line. Seven years later and DVMISSION had grown to become an annual / international extravaganza with over 250 amateur and professional filmmakers taking part. 

If the idea of writing, storyboarding, filming, editing, adding sound and rendering a whole movie in 48 hours sounds crazy, then you're right. This is an endurance test of both human and machine.You have been warned!"
