CT winner announced for 48 Hour Film Project

Cape Town - What does it take to film and edit a movie in 48 hours?

Once a year 120 cities all across the world compete in a 48 Hour Film Project where each city selects one movie to represent it at the Annual Filmpalooza in the US. Cape Town chose Five Minutes Till Noon, a western about a serial killer roaming on a South African railway station.
