This ultimately means that the teams have exactly 48 hours to write the script, scout for locations, find actors, source costumes, prepare sets, shoot, edit and compose the score for their competing films – a feat not recommended for the light-hearted... or those who cherish their beauty sleep.

Of those 12 teams, 4 were comprised of mainly SAE Institute Amman students and not just current digi- came out champions against some of the best in- dustry professionals in the country, with four very different and beautifully executed films.
