The new episode of Chad Vader is out and will delight long-time fans. If this is your first time to encounter the series, I recommend watching some of the back episodes to make this one funnier. Typically in mid-season, and after a decent run, there will be a number of inside jokes and references to […]

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 […]
Gimme Back My Blankee
A team from Transvideo Studios in Mountain View entered the San Francisco 48HFP for the first time in 2009 and won it all! Their tale of sibling rivalry, discipline, dedication and justice charmed audiences all over the Bay Area. We just felt abashed because we didn’t see this coming! That Claude sure is a mean […]
Damn Ikea Heights!
This series from David Seger stars Randall Park and it rocked our world. We watched three full episodes before we realized that the crew had no permission from Ikea (the location for the series). You may find that you love it too. I love it when I discover a series and realize that I can […]
Robots, Love, Other Worlds
When a 48HFP team draws Science Fiction as their genre, all sorts of things can happen. When PizzaInfinity drew the card, well, this is what happened. Good work. We think this was a delightful response to one of the genre choices that many teams fear. Team PizzaInfinity: http://www.youtube.com/user/PizzaInfinity
More with Chad
In addition to the excellent series (Chad Vader: Day Shift Manager) there is also a series of ancillary spots that feature Chad in other parts of his life. This clip was recently released. It illustrates some of Chad’s “empire-class” pickup strategies. Will it work? Will Chad go out with Felicia Day. If you dig around, you […]
Superhero, Spy, For Life!
In the summer of 2007, San Jose hosted its first ever 48 Hour Film Project. A number of highly entertaining films were made that year, but this one from the Smith Brothers topped them all. They drew “Spy” for their genre and they were asked to include the line “I feel a little embarrassed.” The […]
Each of us can become…
A More Perfect Yellow is available to each of us if we have the courage to dig as deeply into the soul — and soak every so lovingly in the fountain of geekyness, as Lucious Breckensted. This height is available to you. Do you want it… …badly enough?
Ohhhhh, I’m sooooooo scared!
One of the trickiest genres to draw in the 48 Hour Film Project is horror. It’s easy to get many of the devices of horror right, but to make a watchable and interesting film created in just a weekend is quite a feat. And of course the audience has see it all, so how could […]
One shot please!
I didn’t really get this one the first time through. I was lost in the inquiry of the story. Just WHAT are these people doing? When I looked again, I could see the genius emerge like a crab from beneath a protective rock. The sheer lifting strength it took to get this story to us […]
