I am proud to announce that I have assembled a kick-ass team to take part in the 48hr Film Project in Seattle. Dubbed the Film Ninja Clan, our team is made up of some of Seattle’s most talented filmmakers, which is good ’cause we’re gonna need ‘em.
For the uninitiated, the 48hr Film Project is exactly what it sounds like. We will have 48 hour, and not a second more, to write, shoot, edit and score a 4 – 7 minute short film. The catch is that the genre of the film will be chosen at random on the night of the kickoff. Additionally, we will be required to utilize a specific character and a specific piece of dialog within the film. Complete details are available on the 48hr Film Project website.
Here’s the schedule:
- Friday, June 19th 6:00pm – Kickoff party. Receive our genre, character and line.
- Friday, June 19th 7:00pm – Contest officially starts. Ready, set. GO!
- Friday, June 19th 7:00pm til the wee hours of the morning – write and storyboard a killer script
- Saturday, June 20th 8:00am -to 6:00pm – Shoot said killer script.
- Saturday, June 20th 7:00pm to the wee hours of the morning – Return to FilmNinja central and begin editing and scoring the film.
- Sunday, June 21st morning – after a little sleep and a lot of coffee continue editing and scoring.
- Sunday, June 21st 5:00pm – Render that puppy!
- Sunday, June 21st 7:00pm – Turn in what is sure to be the coolest film ever produced in a 48hr period of time.
- Thursday, June 25th 9:00pm – Our film, along with 11 others, will screen at the Harvard Exit. (807 East Roy at Harvard, Seattle 98102)
- Friday, June 26th 6:00pm – We will be announced as the worlds greatest filmmaking team, whisked away to Hollywood, given mansions, Ferraris and an 8 figure, 3 picture deal with Paramount. Or we’ll just go have a beer and talk about how much fun we had.
There will be some prizes awarded to the winner of each city and even bigger grand prize awarded to the international winner. Winners will be decided by audience voting so we will be doing everything we can to stack the audience in our favor. Speaking of which, now would be a great time to get your tickets! =D
