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 […]
Marriage is between a man and — well…
Last year a team of talented high school students from International High School in San Francisco delighted audiences with their comedic entry in the 48 Hour Film Project: Une Soiree de Passion. They went home with an Audience Choice Award as well as a number of accolades from 48HFP Jurists and Producers. Their film went […]
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. […]
Somebody Knows the Secret
In this short, and very well written short film, a down-on-his-luck Irish man faces interrogation at the hands of a rather seedy band of thugs. What secrets do they think he knows? What is really at stake here? You’ll find out in just under seven minutes if you take a look at “Snatching Feargus.” Enjoy! […]
Something Lost is Found
Rising star filmmakers at Thinking Stone Productions brought this film to the 2009 San Jose 48 Hour Film Project. After bagging an Audience Choice Award, they subsequently took it to LA for the Asian Pacific Film Festival where it won more hearts from among a welcoming audience. If you haven’t seen this charmer, this is […]
Don’t Eat the Moo Shu Pork!
One veteran 48 Hour Film Project team tells us that they have a tradition of ordering chinese takeout for their first evening of the competition. They eat chinese while they write, and then they sometimes use the containers as props during the production. This entry from the 2009 season matches that pattern completely. Keep an […]
Christmas in Peril (again)
Teams in the 48 Hour Film Project draw a randomly selected genre from a hat on the first night of the competition. They never know what they are going to get — we like to think that this keeps them honest. One of our favorite genres (retired for the 2010 season) has long been the […]
Death by Karaoke
Award winning 48 Hour Film Project team Transvideo Studios came to San Jose to compete in 2009, even though they were ineligible to win Best of City after their victory in San Francisco earlier that same summer. Their plan was more ambitious for this project, and the challenges they faced came from surprising quarters. The […]
They Came from The Supermarket
An invasion can come from anywhere. These alert filmmakers predicted the next great invasion, and bring us a cautionary tale from the future. Their entry in the 2009 48 Hour Film Project won an Audience Choice Award for their screening group. You’ll never stand easy at the supermarket checkout after you’ve seen this film. Tomorrow […]
