We have to say however, we do love a labor or passion that acknowledges and honors one of the greats. This amusement from Vincent Van Dominough certainly shows a lot of effort and care spent on this toppling tribute. We especially loved the elapsing clock in the frame for the building phase. Good work topplers!

Yes. But How Natural Is It?
…we realized lately that this was the first time we remember seeing Erik Braa in one of the 48 Hour Film Project gems. But what really caught our attention about this morality tale is the deftness of the writing. We invite you to enjoy a favorite from past years of the San Francisco 48HFP, How […]
Life of a Dad
We’re not always impressed with time-lapse productions, but this one is irresistible from start to finish. Take a couple of minutes to follow this proud father through the dizzying events of a typical morning at home. Don’t ever tell Dad that it’s not a job.
A New Land and a Dream
Each summer for the past 10 years, San Francisco indie filmmakers have proven that you don’t have to take forever to make a good movie. This somber and poignant look at the touchy issues of immigration and multi-cultural marriage is good proof. We’re just kidding of course (about the poignancy, not about the fact that […]
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.
Another Surprise
We don’t often find online clips as long as 11 minutes that we feel compelled to share. We firmly believe that the sweet spots for online placement are 1 minute, 4 minutes, and 7 minutes for “long form” work. Differ if you wish, but in the coming times, we’ll stand behind this presumption. (We suspect […]
Doing the Right Thing
We love this tale of a butcher and his dog. It’s nicely done and brings both characters alive in our imagination. Take a couple of moments to get a smile from The Dog and The Butcher. We feel like we’ve seen this before at an awards ceremony somewhere. Maybe it was at Campus Movie Fest, […]
Runs, Won’t Stop
Veteran 48 Hour Film Project company, It Donned On Me, put out this short documentary about a local runner who just can’t seem to get enough. What makes someone agree to run without stopping for 24 hours? Take a few minutes to check into the mind of Charles Wickersham. Look for a series of similar […]
Somebody save Mrs. Pickles!
Regular award-winners from the 48 Hour Film Project, It Donned On Me made this short film for another time-based filmmaking competition. They brought home an Audience Choice Award as well as an award for Best Sound. We love the bravado with which they made this adventure film and we look forward to their next creation. […]
Could It Really Work?
When we saw “Back to the Future” we knew it was a fable, a fairy tale, a fantasy — in short A Lie! But when we saw this short film from a promising young local filmmaker, we had to step back and think about it again. Uly Mostrales is one of the creative forces behind […]
