Write, Shoot & Edit a short film in two days

Aberdeen, SD | Fri-Sun, July 10-12, 2026

ReelRoad48 is a short filmmaking competition from the award-winning group SchwabGazette Industries, LLC. The goal is to write, shoot and edit a short film in just under 48 hours. The thrill of a fast-paced environment creates unique challenges and creative ways to solve them.

After nearly a decade of involvement with film competitions, we were driven to create an event that promotes the authenticity of Aberdeen filmmakers and beyond. We strive to keep the art scene alive in Aberdeen and we can't wait to see what our filmmakers will create!
