The folks at Transvideo Studios work each and every day to produce some of the finest commercial and industrial media that the Bay Area has to offer. This film was their contribution to the San Francisco 48 Hour Film Project in 2009. The story won the hearts and minds of both audience and judges, and […]

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.
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.
Team Rock!t Does
San Francisco competitive filmmaking team, Team Rock!t brought home the Audience Choice Award for their 2010 48 Hour Film Project entry. Enjoy the adventures of Ladycat and her best friend. You can see more of Team Rock!t’s work this weekend at the SF Underground Short Film Festival. Their 2011 film, Killin’ It In Reno was […]
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 […]
Is It Still A Phone
The folks at FiLMiC Pro wanted to be sure that we could believe that it’s possible to turn an iPhone into a credible capture device for 24p video. So they did what they knew we’d demand. They showed us. It’s clear they had some fun making this too. If their engineers exhibit as much bravado […]
Let There Be Illumination
Long time readers here may have been introduced to Mr. Deity in the past. And if not, here’s a wonderful introduction to this long-running series. It also explains a lot of things I wondered about. It’s always nice to learn how things really happened.
We Are Positive
The folks at Ovation Pictures are clearly out to entertain. Their entries in the 48 Hour Film Project from as far back as 2006 have consistently polled well with audiences and juries alike. In the 2011 San Jose competition, their film “Oh Negative” garnered best acting nominations for multiple members of their cast. This film […]
Now Hear This
Longtime independent film competitors Square Marden delivered another top film in the San Jose 48 Hour Film Project. Their entry, “Stuffed” will be screened Saturday night at the Awards and Highlights show. This film was an international finalist in the 2011 Go Green competition. You can see their latest competitive film screen along with a […]
