i see myself in the audience.  anyone who can guess who i am gets a five.  not a high five, just regular.

the lighting for this film was much better than for the other teams, in my opinion.  at least for what you were trying to do (all night scenes).  i know at least one person that didn't like it because it was a drama, but i voted for it.

Of the films in the first showing, this was one of the most well done. A few of the films looked like home video edited with a VCR.

Also, if this is based purely on audience choice, I think the comedies are tough competition. It's much easier to be funny in 4-7 minutes than anything else, making it more memorable to the audience.

Unfortunately, the teams did not get to pick the genre.

i agree.  it also seems to have been the only film that didn't show a toilet seat just to show a toilet seat....out of group A, at least.  i didn't see the other group.

Unfortunately, the teams did not get to pick the genre.

yes, true.  it's better than having to do a children's film.

In a lot of the films, the required line and prop seemed like afterthoughts. I think they did a good job tying it all together.

I agree.

I thought it was moving, I though it was nice looking, and the acting didn't make me reel.

Because your alias is "Big Ben" I would guess you're the big guy in the front center of this picture in the white shirt clapping?

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- It's time once again for the 48 Hour Film Project. Professional and amateur filmmakers have only 48 hours to produce, write and edit a short film. They will pick a genre, like comedy or romance, from a hat. They will be given a character, a prop and a line they have to use in the 4 - 7 minute film.

The prop last year was a toilet seat. The line was "since when is this all about me." Paul Melian, the Director of the team "Somebody Call an Ambulance Production," says the hardest part was making the line work. "It has to sound natural." His team drew the comedy genre, which he says he was happy about. An actor in his movie threw the toilet seat at the character he was given. "We had to use a thief, Charles Braun. He was a central character."
