Pueblo's 72 Hour Kickass Film Festival: A Celebration of Creativity
The Sangre de Cristo Arts Center buzzed with excitement on April 6th, 2024, as Pueblo celebrated the 2024 edition of the 72 Hour Kickass Film Festival. This unique competition challenges filmmakers to write, shoot, and edit a short film in just 72 hours, pushing the boundaries of creativity and collaboration.
The energy was palpable as over 300 film enthusiasts gathered for the three-hour-long celebration. The evening culminated in the highly anticipated award ceremony, where filmmakers were recognized for their achievements in various categories. From "Best Picture" to "Audience Choice," each award highlighted the diverse talents on display.
Adding to the celebratory atmosphere was a captivating performance by Pueblo's own Stilts, featuring lead singer Jeremy Kitchen. Their music provided the perfect backdrop for an evening that showcased the city's thriving film scene.
This year's Kickass Film Festival proved to be a resounding success. The large attendance is a testament to the growing popularity of the event and the Pueblo community's passion for film. The festival not only provides a platform for aspiring filmmakers but also fosters a sense of camaraderie and collaboration within the local film industry.
A big congratulations to all the participants, winners, and organizers of the 72 Hour Kickass Film Festival! Here's to many more successful years to come!
