A waiter or waitress named Frank or Frieda Gilroy
A lightbulb
The following line of dialogue: “He’s been around a time or two.”

The 48 Hour Film Project

Considering that we’re still such newbies at this whole filmmaking game, it may come as a surprise to some of you that we have entered into the 2008 48 Hour Film Project in Houston. The task is simple, create a short film lasting between 4 – 7 minutes in just one weekend. The genre will be drawn from a pool and we will be given a character, a prop, and a line of dialogue to use. Everything else is up to us. Wish us luck!
