Drop-off FAQ
Is there guidance regarding recommended browsers? We do not recommend using Safari to upload your film and paperwork, as it works sometimes but not all of the time. We strongly encourage using Chrome and Firefox.
Where do I find the title card templates? Login into your Dash account and select your team. Next, you will see the selected project with buttons to download title card templates.
What time does the film have to be submitted to be ON-TIME? You must have your checksum on Sunday by 7:30 PM at the latest. This checksum creates a fingerprint of your file as soon as you drag your file into the “film drop-off” box. This may take a couple of minutes, so ensure a timely start. Best Advice: Aim for a 7:00 PM drop-off, which gives you half an hour to start your download.
The upload appears to be stuck, but it’s after 7:30 PM! Don’t worry. This happens occasionally. But as long as you have an on-time checksum and have not changed anything about the original file, you can just refresh your browser and try again. Your drop-off time will appear again as soon as the fingerprinting phase (yellow beam) is done.
Nothing seems to happen, no yellow beam, nothing! Sometimes a browser can work against you. Sometimes Safari (among others) has issues. Best Advice: Use Chrome or Firefox. Still have issues? Try switching computers.
Can I finish the upload at a different location? Yes, as long as you have an on-time checksum, you can interrupt the upload and finish it somewhere else. But, ensure we have your film as soon as possible. Remember: You must upload the exact same file.
I’m getting an error about my file being corrupted, what now? This has nothing to do with your file, but how your file is received. Probably something went wrong with uploading, causing the file not to upload correctly. You can only fix this by refreshing and trying again.
The website mentions a “countdown,” where do I find it? Nowhere. This animation contains the old logo, which we don’t use anymore. But it’s not prohibited to use, hence it is still in the rules.
What can I do to prepare for my film upload? Make sure you are logged into the system at 7:00 PM and have navigated to the Film Upload page. If you already know the final title of your film, fill it in so the only thing you have to do is drop the file into the dropzone after checking that your file plays back after rendering and is correct.
I’m not able to complete my film on-time… what do I do? Call or text the City Producers and tell them that your film is going to be late and when to expect it.
Will you screen late films? Yes, you worked too hard for us not to screen your film. It’s a marathon… just finish the race and we’ll cheer when you cross the finish line.
Can I make changes to my film after submission? Yes, it’s your film and you can make your Director’s Cut. However, we’re screening the versions uploaded… warts and all, because we’re celebrating the run and what you’re able to accomplish in only 48 hours.

Each screening will feature 15 short films from this year’s competition, with a runtime of approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes of pure entertainment and filmmaking fun.
This is the highlight of the Toronto 48HFP! It’s a ton of fun to watch what was created in only 48 hours, with an audience made up of the cast and crew from all the films, their friends, significant others, and short film lovers who appreciate the effort and talent involved. The theatre buzzes with excitement, creativity, and camaraderie. The Premiere Screenings are what filmmaking is all about: making a film and then watching it at the theatre with an enthusiastic audience.
The audience gets to vote for their three favorite films, and the audience’s favorite from each screening group wins an Audience Favorite Award.
Completing the 48 Hour Film Project is akin to running a marathon—it’s an extraordinary feat of endurance, creativity, and teamwork. Filmmakers have crossed the finish line, and now it's time to celebrate their remarkable achievements!
Each team leader will receive two complimentary tickets to their screening. These tickets will be held at the theatre under the team leader's name and available a half-hour before your screening.
For everyone’s convenience, Premiere Screening Tickets will be available for purchase online via EventBrite. Screenings may sell out quickly, so get your tickets as soon as possible.
Creating a short film in only one weekend is an amazing accomplishment, and we’re always proud to share and celebrate these incredible works with the best audience a filmmaker could ask for. Please note that these films are not rated and may not be suitable for all audiences. We look forward to seeing you at the screenings!
