A Fistful of Quarters

This past weekend I participated in the Philadelphia 48 Hour Film Project where each team writes, directs, scores, and edits a 5-7 minute short film within 48 hours. It starts on Friday night and the finished film is due on Sunday night. It's a hectic weekend, but it's really a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I only got to help edit the film on Sunday.

Each team's film had to have 4 elements in common. This year those elements were:

Character = Jeannie Mandanda
Occupation = Municipal Worker
Line of Dialog = "Be sure she gets the message."
Prop = Head of Lettuce

What differs between all the teams' projects is their film's genre. While other teams had Drama, Western or Horror, ours was Silent Movie.

See below for our finished product. For some reason the video looks extra dark. It's a little easier to see if you blow it up to full screen. Lemme know what you think!
