This upcoming weekend I am going to be participating in another film competition similar to the last one I did. This one however is a 72 hour contest. Just like last time, the contest will begin on Friday evening, where our team, this time led by myself and editor Steve Valdeck, will receive three story elements and the choice of two genres. The story elements are a character, a prop, and a line of dialogue, while genres range from such staples as comedy and drama to more specialized ones, such as film noir, buddy film, and road movie.
From that point, all writing, shooting, editing, and scoring must be completed by Monday, when the film will be mailed in to the contest organizers. Teams from around the world will be competing for cash prizes and the chance to have the film shown at prestigious film festivals.
Needless to say I am very excited about this, as our last film, Jack Staple and the Cubicles of Doom did very well, making it to the Best of Denver screening for the 48 Hour Film Project. We feel we can do even better this time around.
For those who haven't seen Jack Staple yet, here it is, an example of what can be accomplished in a few short days.
(elements were: Sharon Woods, administrative assistant; a lamp; and "he told me not to tell anyone"; genre: adventure serial)
