In case you’ve forgotten, or have never heard of the 48 Hour Film Project, all the films were written, shot, edited and scored in 48 hours. So if you’re usually a big film snob, be sure to cut the participants a little slack (or don’t, considering one of last year’s films was at the Cannes Film Festival this year).
