It’s Gettin’ Real … Where?!
When you look in the coolerator and see that you’re out of quinoa and mango salsa — there’s only one thing to do. Get yourself to the Whole Foods parking lot! There’s nothing we can add to this. Genius sometimes shows up equipped with its own shopping bags.
A Stagecoach is Coming
This month in San Francisco, the 48 Hour Film Project will present 8 specially selected films from the past years of the competition in the Bay Area. The films have been selected by the filmmakers who created them from among their favorites. The filmmakers were selected from among veterans in the field who have competed […]
New Hope!
In a season of bad news, poorly produced videos meant to shock us into consciousness, and regurgitated snippets from terrible faux news programming, it’s refreshing to encounter a well made comic masterpiece. We dare you not to laugh. We did get hate mail from some offended Icelanders over this. We’re not sure why.
A Fastener’s Christmas
In the spirit of the season, we thought that this future classic would be a good pick. (it’s a little over 7 minutes but worth every drop!) The rumor is untrue that the text of this brilliant little comedy made us swear off ever writing again. We thought about it though.

Oh, in the meantime, if you want to create audience delight from scratch, you may want to spin up your favorite filmmaking team and get yourself into the National […]

Filmmaker Luke Snellin delivers a polished and poignant tribute to his father. Maybe we’re just saps, but somehow every note and every frame rang true for us. Now Luke, we’re ready for your comedy. Because after all, a day without laughter… Meanwhile, this film was created to mark the launch of Virgin Media Shorts 2011. […]
Machinima and 48 Hours
A couple of weeks ago, the 48 Hour Film Project took place in a very special town — the town of Machinima. For those unfamiliar, machinima is a form of rapid animation that uses game engines to do the rendering instead of highly specialized software and powerful server farms. One of the most famous machinima […]
Make it Fast
These guys have been making a movie every weekend for weeks now. In a mere 24 hours (or so) they put together a movie every weekend. Look — a simple joke, a sleepless weekend, a truckload of fluorescent lights, and a working air pistol — 800,000 YouTube views. Got the memo? It’s longer than […]
