Here I am, with my editing workstation set up and awaiting the start of the 48 Hour Film Project. Never heard of it? It’s a competition where teams of filmmakers write and produce a short film in 48 hours. Tonight at 6pm, a genre will be drawn out of a hat, and then our team, GTTOTFD (Get The Tape Out The F**king Door), starts to work. The film must be completed and submitted by Sunday evening. Until then, it’s chaos – I assume! I’m a 48HFP virgin, so I hope they’ll be gentle.
I’m a little worried that competing teams may be more professional – or, in the case of the people from Discovery Channel – have access to better equipment. Hopefully, in the end, it will be creativity that wins the day!
Wow, cool. Good luck!
