First of all, if you haven’t picked up your copy of OUTLAW TERRITORY what are you waiting for?! It’s colossal, it’s stupendous, it’s old-timey, it’s GOT ME IN IT!!!! Go now! Buy! Read the rest of this when you get back (I get double the hits that way)!
This past weekend was another extremely exciting adventure in my matinee missing life, I was a member of team Celluloid Heroes in the Dallas 48 Hour Film Project. Each team is given a genre, a character, a prop, and a line of dialogue, then they have 48 hours to write, cast, film, and edit a short film incorporating all of those elements. As part of the writing team I helped forge the epic struggle of Oggie Henderson and his comedic romp through purgatory, then I even got to stick around and carry lightstands back and forth during production. There were many ups and downs during production (almost all of which were captured for posterity by an on-set documentary crew…yay?), but the film came out beautifully and if you don’t believe me then you need to come to the 9:30pm screening tonight at Dallas Movie Grilll.
Big congratulations to my fellow sleep deprived teammates (did I mention around hour 30 with no sleep I went to a job interview?) as well as to the cast and miscellaneous other people who showed up to help out on set.
Now what’s this I hear about a 21 Day Film Project………
Oh no! Why didn’t I hear about this earlier? Will you guys post the video online at some point? I wanna see.
There are some legal things about where and when we can post the film, but I’m sure it will be on-line sooner rather than later. I’ll post the link here on the site when it is.
