Did you enjoy the 48 Hour Guerrilla Film Competition showing?

Yeah, it was a lot of fun.  For those who don’t know what the 48GFC is, let me explain.

The 48GFC is a two day competition where film makers form teams to write, shoot and edit a short film in 48 hours.  Both amateur and professional groups are welcome to join in.

On Friday, May 21st, 2010, each team sent one person to the Burn’s Court Cinemas to pick up their packet of information. Inside was the genre of the movie and one random line of dialog. The genre and line are kept secret until you pick up the packet to keep it fair for everyone.

Over the next 48 hours the team must write dialog, shoot all new footage (no stock footage allowed), edit and submit their movies back at Burn’s Court Cinemas before the deadline passes.

This year ten teams submitted films and they were all shown this morning at Lakewood Ranch Cinemas.  This was the second time I attended a 48GFC showing.  Just like the first time, I thought it was amazing how the teams can produce these films so quickly.  Most were very funny and overall I had a great time.

So which ones were my favorites?  I can think of three that really stood out, and these are in no particular order…
Driving Mr. Davey
Incorruptible
Whatever it Takes

Thumbs up to all of the teams.  Each of you should be proud.
