VISA USA and the 48 Hour Film Project have teamed to launch the "Life Takes Invitational," offering skilled amateur filmmakers a chance to win a VISA prepaid card worth $10,000. Following 48HFP 2007 tour stops in San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles, a total of 30 teams will be invited to participate in the "Invitational" and will be asked to create a short film that demonstrates their interpretation of what "Life Takes." VISA will provide the selected teams with a $500 gift card for production expenses along with travel expenses to San Francisco for two team members. In September, VISA along with a panel of entertainment and advertising industry experts will judge the entries. The grand prize winner along with second and third place winners, who will receive $5,000 and $2,500 respectively, will be honored during an awards gala in San Francisco.
