Every year we participate in TAKE48, a film challenge where teams must write, shoot and edit a 3-minute short film all within 48 hours. This year, 70 films were submitted. From those 70, 40 films were chosen to be screened as part of Sydney Underground Film Festival. From those 40, 20 films were chosen as finalists.

We are very excited to announce our submission, "Nosebleed", has been chosen as a finalist for TAKE48 2026! This means our film will be in the running for a number of awards from the judges, as well as the Audience Favourite Award which we won back in 2022 for "The Show Must Go On".
