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! […]

What Sort of Vermin?
When competing teams draw their genre randomly at the beginning of the 48 Hour Film Project, some of them hate to get Science Fiction, and some of them dream of it. Maybe you saw our previous article about Team Stroganoff (led by Jacob Rangel and Jason Burton) who took on that challenge and brought in […]
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 […]
Not His Real Name?
Bay Area filmmaker Paul Aspuria has competed in the 48 Hour Film Project on multiple occasions and has taken home a Best Cinematography award more than once. This was his first entry in the competition, and it may just be one of our favorites. Paul’s entry in this year’s event will screen later this week […]
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 […]
Experts and Consultants
The teams in San Francisco’s 2010 48 Hour Film Project drew “Geoffery Cook, a consultant” as their required character. Veteran team It Donned On Me took the challenge, along with their randomly drawn genre “Heist Movie” and went to it with gusto. This is what they produced. We have to admit being smitten with the […]
Beautiful Moments, No Losers
Our friends in the indie acoustic rock band The Beautiful Losers granted permission to use a couple of their tracks to score a highlights reel from the San Francisco 48HFP. This particular reel (about 4 mins in length) is cut to a track from their recently released CD, Four Corners of a Tiny Planet. We […]
