These are the ones, like Once Upon a Thyme Productions, who keep coming back to the 48 Hour Film Project. This year in San Jose, the troupe finished what was probably their fifth entry for the competition. Here’s a glimpse: https://vimeo.com/136086014 […]

You Lookin’ At Me?
After nearly twenty rounds in the 48 Hour Film Project, we sort of expect Film Antics to be a well-oiled machine. They’ve produced numerous films that gathered awards including a City Winner for San Jose in 2013, and Best Film finalists in other cities and years. This time we opted for a closer look, so […]
It’s Slobberin’ Time!
The 48 Hour Film Project is back in San Jose! On the weekend of Aug 8th, nearly two dozen filmmaking teams created new short films and they’ll be shown next week at the Camera 12 Cinema. Here’s a sneak peek. (That’s what we used to call the trailers. Now it’s just a trailer.) The filmmakers […]

Now there’s going to be a TV series written for movie screens (before the main feature) and for select local broadcast markets. And OF COURSE we’ll release episodes online after the premiere. The series […]
Don’t Call it Finger Painting
This clip took a total of 351 3D printed nails, and a whole lot of hard work! See if you are as amazed as we were. Someone had a hell of a Day of Beauty!
When Filmmakers and Artists Collide
Registration for ArtShots 2015 is now open! It sounds easy enough, but filmmakers who’ve participated in ArtShots tell us it’s more difficult than they imagined. Here’s how it works: We match each participating filmmaker with one prominent artist or arts organization. We give them two weeks to create a 90-second sizzle clip that captures the essence of the […]
