48 Hour Film Project Update/ New Poll

Hi folks, its been a long last couple of days for me.

First of all, the 48 Hour Film Project was an absolute blast. I was brought on the project by Anthony Larocca of Dangling Carrot films, and the team he and writer/producer Christian Link put together was great to work with. Everyone involved went above and beyond the call of duty and we ended up making a very strong film considering the amount of time we had to do it in.

The required elements we were given at the beginning of the competition were:

1. Prop- a lamp
2. Line- "He told me not to tell anyone"
3. Character- Sharon or Sherman Woods, administrative assistant

The genre our team drew was "Adventure serial"

We ended up shooting Jack Staple and the Cubicles of Doom, one 'episode' of an imagined adventure series featuring the heroic Jack Staple, a purveyor of office antiquities. In this episode, he infiltrates the offices of William Turnstiles to extract the fabled "Golden Floppy".

The shooting was tough, 15 straight hours before heading down to Litteton to dive into the edit. The head editor stayed up through the night while the other editors and I got a few hours sleep, then we traded off. We got the project done and turned in in the nick of time. Despite being rushed, I am pretty proud of what we accomplished, and would love to see you at the premiere showing at the Gothic theater on the 8th at 6:30 (Group C). its only 10 bucks at the door for a dozen short films! You can buy 8 dollar advance tickets here.

Now, back to normal business here at There Will Be Blog.

There is a new poll for you to vote on. Now I know, the last few weeks have been pretty slim pickings for you to choose from but we can't have Twilight and Inception coming out every week you know. So please vote! I want to see some competition.

This is a good week for that as there are three large releases.

First is the new Will Ferrell vehicle The Other Guys, costarring Mark Wahlberg. The two play a bumbling pair of policemen trying to be action heroes. Marky Mark's involvement makes this one look a cut above the last few Ferrell flicks, but we shall see.

Next on the menu is Step Up 3D, which looks like something I would pretty much entirely hate. But if you want me to have to see it, go ahead and vote for it!

Finally, we have Middle Men which is about the birth of internet pornography. Starring Luke Wilson, this film could be pretty interesting.
