48 Hour Film Project

That's right.

Yeah, I participated in the 48 Hour Film Project, which you haven't heard of it.

There's one in, like, every major city and even-

Yeah

And I also just wanted to, at the top, shout out a horror relevant, um, thing of interest to s- you know, uh, prospectively for some listeners to the show.

Yours truly, Rob, participated in a, uh, thing called the 48 Hour Film Project a couple weeks ago that in, in Pittsburgh.

So that is a thing where you get a prompt on a Friday night to make a film, a very short film, four to seven minutes.

Over the course of the next 48 hours, you turn it in Sunday night, and then it plays, uh, in competition, uh, shortly thereafter.

Um, it's sort of a parody of YouTube content shit, threat- you know, that kinda thing.

Um, but you can find more information about the film in the description, which will be online eventually in, in some sort of form.

But because this episode is dropping in such close proximity, I figured I would also shout out that you can come see the film, along with a block of other films made during the 48 Hour Film Project this last, um, spooky 48 hour horror season, um, at the Rangos Giant Cinema, the science center theater here in Pittsburgh.

Um, our block, where my film, where our film will be playing is Tuesday, October 13th, 7:00 PM.

What I like to think about is, like, 100 years ago, if people had access to the same type of filmmaking technology that we all carry in our pockets every day, wouldn't you want to see those films which come to people? That's kind of the idea.

This festival reminded me of 48 Hour Film Festival or at One Minute Film Jam on Instagram.

So it is... very much your own film jam, but except it is 30 day long.

Yeah, that's right.

Not everyone can dedicate 40 hours of intensive mental labor to anything, uh, psychically or materially.

Um, and so, yeah, 30 days again makes it a little bit more approachable.

Uh, but I do love, I have a lot of love for 48 hour film festivals.

I used to do them at university and made a lot of bad movies for those as well.

But that kind of grew into more of a love of film.

Participated in the Indianapolis 48 Hour Film Project in Indiana when I was in high school.

Did a bunch of theater in undergrad.

I was a directing major in undergrad at Ball State where I met Jess.

it would be r- completely deranged to do so.

But I just participated for the first time in the 48 Hour Film Project, which people who listen to this podcast may be very well aware of.

It's very similar energy, which is basically like you make a movie in 48 hours based on a prompt that you get on Friday night, and this was like the horror edition or whatever.

A bunch of cities have this.

Okay, so my production team, 1334 Films.

Make sure y'all go to our website, 1334films.com. We participated in our very first 48 hour film festival as a new production company and it was in Charlotte and it was a great experience because on our team we had a team of ten that included the two actors who we ended up using well one of the actors and one of the guys he ended up being on the production work with us but we had a team of ten out of the ten only one person had done a 48-hour film festival before.

So this was a brand new experience for us.

It was amazing.

And y'all represent.

Represent.

But yeah, we did the 48 Hour Film Festival in Charlotte.

It was such... great thing.
