So I just got a phone call from one of my partners in Crime, Kendall Smith, who just informed me that it was official…we are registered as Team Lurkers for the 48 Hour Film Competition. Thank you Mr.Smith…I always manage to miss this deadline, not this time. Here is a blurb from the official 48 Hour Film Competition site…

The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless weekend in which you and a team make a movie—write, shoot, edit and score it—in just 48 hours. On Friday night, you get a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all to include in your movie. 48 hours later, the movie must be complete. Then it will show at a local theater, usually in the next week.

A friend and filmmaker form my home town Richmond VA, Lucas Krost, called me down to work on one of his 48 hour films, Terminus, when he competed in the previous 48 hour show down, and all I can say is its insane film production on steroids…little time for sleep. Lucas reached out to the city for help and had an incredible response from Richmond which certainly paid off as his film was ultimately selected for the Cannes film festival and screening in about a week…Congrats to Lucas and his crew. While there was much to gain from Lucas’s approach, New York is another story….our budget is very low, competition is very high, but either way we are going try and have fun doing it.

Did I mention our budget was low…sorry, I meant we have no budget yet so that brings me to our sponsors, or lack of. If your interested in donating then you can do so here and we are plannning perhaps a fund raising event as well, stay tuned for more. We are just trying to raise enough money for transportation and feeding a guerrilla size crew.

Any donation is welcome, even a dollar will you get honorable mention but 20 and over will you get an invitation to a screening and after party.
