Lucas Krost of “The Branching” down in Richmond VA decided to submit a short for film for the Project Direct Sundance competition in association with YouTube. The catch was we only had 72 hours to crank this film out with no budget so it was quite a run and gun affair, true guerrilla film making. I only had a couple tungsten 500s and 2x 1200 watt HMIs for lighting but was fortunate to have support from the local Richmond crew over at Studio 108. It was one hell of a showdown. I used a RED in a lightweight configuration with Zeiss ZFs. The project was cut in 48 hours and delivered. Last I heard we would were almost finalist but were unfortunately disqualified for profanity. I guess someone overlooked the guidelines? It was still worth it in the end and most everyone was pleased considering our time limitations.
