Shall we play a game?

In the movie "Wargames" it was Thermonuclear War. This game might be just as crazy, but without the mass destruction. People tell me it's crazy anyway. At least they stopped saying impossible. I think they still mean impossible, but they just say "You're crazy", or "That's crazy".
Instead of stressing out about trying to make a feature film in 48 hours, we're turning it into a game. And every game has rules so here they are for Film 48:

The objective is to make the best film you can with the longest running time.
It must be shot in one continuous 48 hour period.
It must be edited in another continuous 48 hour period.
The cast and crew can't see the script until 48 hours before the shooting begins.
No more than 48 people total can work on the film.
You are not allowed more than two takes of any shot.
The number 48 should be in the film somewhere.
The finished film must have a run time of at least 48 minutes.

Simple right?
So I'll go first, we shoot our Film 48 this weekend. I'll keep you posted on the progress. And then I'll have to ask "Who's Next?"
