Roommate! Can’t live with them…
…and it’s not nice to destroy them in a planetary cataclysm. Over 300 short films were created for the 48 Go Green competition, and this one from Ovation Pictures brought home the Audience Choice Award in San Francisco. Can the human race and the planet actually agree about who should take out the trash? We’re […]

Just the Way You Like It
The veteran hands at It Donned On Me have delighted audiences over and over with their competitive entries in timed film contests. This gem was created in 3 days with the assignment being Hitchcock style horror. We think they nailed it. Oh, but one thing was missing. Where was the cameo?
A Kick in the ‘alls

Don’t Go in the Basement
We are consistently impressed with the work that comes from Ovation Pictures’ Christian Pizzirani and Jason Salazar. This latest addition to what is rapidly becoming a “body of work,” was their contribution to the horror genre. C’mon dude! When the man says, “don’t go in the basement,” what are you gonna do? Even shouting at […]
San Jose 48HFP 2010: Jurists Nominations
The judges have seen this year’s films and are ready for the Awards Night. They laughed a lot (often, where you intended for them to), and they cried a couple of times (once each over the terrible music I put on the DVD Screener Menu), and more than once they reported having the hairs on […]

Does Your Mother Know?
It’s tough finding connections with friends you can trust when you’re a teen. The folks at Outlaw Media Productions know this and illustrate it very well with their midsummer short film, Zombie Prom Date. These veteran competitive filmmakers created 5 short films in Bay Area competitions this summer (that we know about) and we thoroughly […]
