To prepare for the challenge, teams will be able to participate in a workshop, led by Rodney Smith of Flyin Monkey Films. The intense 3-hour session is scheduled for Wednesday, 11 April at Island Inn, Bridgetown, Barbados and will cover:

Editing on a tight schedule
Music for your film

Filmmakers will have 48 hours to script, shoot, edit and submit a film – starting from 9.m., Wednesday, 11 April until 9 p.m., Friday, 13 April. The prize-winning film(s) will be screened on Sunday, 15 April.
