What did you do this weekend?

Sort've a cheesy tagline, but it just about sums up the sense of pride you get from the chaotic explosion of creativity that accompanies the 48 Hour Film Project.

I have my reservations as to the quality of the finished product, however I invite you to judge for yourself this Thursday at the Hollywood Theater.

Seven o'clock, beyotch.

I think the greater outcome from this project, at least for myself, is the hyper localized need to continue making cinema. I for one have talked my self blue about movie projects, and buried myself under a drift of half finished screenplays. But working on a project like this forces you to focus and complete something without getting distracted by soft core on Skinemax.

And once you're done, that's when all the stagnant bits of creativity come to life. The unfinished ideas that had to be left behind due to time constraints. They all gang up and burrow a little spot into your brain.

I'm talking with my buddy about making a music video for his band. Nothing too complex, but I fully plan to rip off the ideas used for Radiohead's Street Spirit video.

I will most definitely post the finished product(s) for all to critique.
