The New Brunswick 48 Hour Film Competition

Kudos, accolades, and virtual confetti to all our amazing 2024 award nominees and winners, once more!

We also wanted to take this opportunity to send out a HUGE thank you to our gala host, Ryan “Crash” Barton.

2024 is officially one for the books (or the hard drives) and we’re already looking forward to all the cool art we’ll get to see you all create in 2025.
