The 48 hour film festival is a really fun amateur film maker challenge. Teams enter and they get given a set of criteria and 48 hours to make their film. As far as I could tell this year the criteria were .. in no particular order.. a point of view shot, an insomniac named Vic Meyers and the phrase 'did you hear that'.
Tonight was heat 18 and there were 13 films so you can imagine how huge the job of the judges is! It was a very eclectic crowd and all of the teams were there so you could look around and see the stars of the show in the auditorium. The one I particularly liked was made by ... or the lead character was ( I couldn't figure out which) an alien pirate ninja! AWESOME.
A couple of films left me scratching my head, some of them made me laugh my ass off and one was a horror so well done that I was super glad it wasn't longer than 7 minutes! The tickets were free... or well, I was told they were but I don't know if the person I was with might not have 'organised' it for me.
If I had known about this before hand I would love to have gone to check out more heats. Unfortunately those damn kids require me to be prepared and ready to roll before I get in frount of them so I wont be able to go back tomorrow for a few more rounds... hehehehe yeah. damn kids! :P
Thanks for the invite Ryan :)
