We made another film.
Sorta.
Some of you (ok,
both of you) know I made my
FILM DEBUT last year for our local annual 48 hour film challenge,
SATO48. I was immediately hooked on the insane perimeters we were faced with.
In a nutshell,
once a year, about 100 local film makers come to the kickoff not having any idea what their film will be about until we receive our 'Inspiration Package". Last year we had to incorporate our local newspaper and use the number 8 in different ways and include certain language at some point in our film. Before my time, the Inspiration Packages have included a real (dead) squid, Pez dispensers, and lots of other goofy and weird props over the years.
This year we were given Two Won (Korean currency) as our prop.
Most of our team from last year (Andrew Beiler, Nathan Flowers, Serena Capuzzo, and John Cochran) came back together to take the challenge again. Obvious Films' team added Rob Webb and Amanda Ricketts this year -and it was gooood.
Our expectations were high. Our 4 actors went to 6 locations to shoot a dozen COMPLETELY different characters. Some of us got a little sleep around the 24 hour mark. Others worked near 36 hours to complete the film on time.
Well that didn't happen.
It was just too much.
We even had a fairly serious medical issue.
Good times.
Last year we turned our film in with a comfortable 2 minutes to spare. This year, we needed another hour or two.
There was an opportunity to go ahead and have our film screened if we turned it in by 8pm the next evening. We made the decision to bow out entirely, and edit the film the way we want it done.
With that said, I hope to have it ready in the coming weeks. I hope you will Like my

Wow man.
Our feisty cowgirl.
Like they're models or something.
Like she needs the energy.
"What are you guys looking at?"
War paint.
He kept spitting a fake mouthpiece onto the floor -and reusing it.
It's only 2am.

Not bad for 5am.
We keep it pretty casual on set.
