Got Your Back (probably)
When a couple loses the sizzle in their marriage, sometimes a jolt will bring back the sparks. Other times, it could be that the pressure of a stressful situtation demonstrates everything that needs to be seen. Take a look at this entry from Storycake and see which you believe it to be. The folks from […]
Money Can’t Buy…
When filmmakers consider their choices for making a 48 Hour Film Project film, they often worry about drawing Silent Film as their genre. This Las Vegas team had no fear and did something delightful and fresh with the genre. We invite you to enjoy — The Bump. On July 14th, the awards from the 2013 […]
Invitation To a First Love
We love music over here and one of our inspirations has long been the one we’ve grown for singer/songwriter Nanci Griffith. This song (Ford Econoline) is one that challenges a singer, and delights both the singer and audience. Her interview with Suzy Bogguss reminds us of who she is as an artist — and it […]
Listen to the Art
The folks at 48 Hour Film Project wanted to see what would happen if they paired up some of their most talented competitors with prominent Bay Area artists.

That’s So Derivative!
We have to say however, we do love a labor or passion that acknowledges and honors one of the greats.

Run In Their Shoes
Sometimes filmmakers tell us, “oh, I don’t know, 7 minutes isn’t really long enough to have the audience bond with a character.” These filmmakers from Columbus proved that premise wrong in a breathtaking way. Follow the character you meet in Stones and see if you don’t find yourself standing in his shoes by the end […]
When You Draw Western
One of the most honored rituals in the 48 Hour Film Project is the random assignment of genres. Among those that are possible, the one genre that is feared by most teams, and in most cities — is that of “Musical or Western” But in Las Vegas — this is the genre many of us […]
At Least It Flies Like a Chicken

They also carted off awards for top Cinematography, Screenplay, and Ensemble Acting. We hope you […]
