A Long time coming....

Pescatore's Dog:

Well it has been a very long time coming, over a year. After the 48 hour film challenge and a re-edit, we finally have the finished extended version of 'Pescatore's Dog'.

To re-cap:

48 film Challenge - to write, film and edit a short film in just 48 hours! Total madness and crazy amounts of fun! We were given the genre of 'Western', naturally we wanted a bit of comedy and music thrown in. So for added value we went for a Mexican western with a wild chase, stand-off and of course maracas!

For the challenge we were given a character, prop and line that must be used in the film. These were:

Character: Charlie or Charli Cipiani, a Minor Celebrity.

Prop: Cream

Line: "Let me tell you a secret"

So here it is......Enjoy!

Watch 'Pescatore's Dog' Here!

48 Hours...Ready, Set, GO!

The 48 hour film project is the largest short film contest in the world. Filmmakers write, shoot, edit and score a film in 48 hours, then see it up on the big screen!
This was my first 48 hour project and I'm hoping to do it again!
It all started Friday 21st September when we gathered in out teams at the Prince Charles Cinema in Lester Sq. Here we registered and collected our individual genres from the bowl and were told the character, prop and line we must all use:

Character: Charlie or Charli Cipriani, Minor Celebrity

Prop: Cream

Line: "Let me tell you a secret"

Our team, Fold Up Films, headed by Stephen Riseborough picked out 'Western/Musical'. Of course it has a comedy element in it too! The script was written over night ready for filming at 9am Saturday morning! We had so much fun, and it was total madness. Talking dogs, sombreros, mad chases, fake blood and even a fire alarm incident. Wrapping at 11pm it was a long day but so worth it!

As soon as I get the final edited film I will post it here :D
