“Ashram”, the short film we made for the 2009 Houston 48 Hour Film Project, has been selected to be included on the first ever “Best of Houston” DVD!
A lot of really good short films were selected to be on the DVD, so be sure to order up a couple dozen copies for you and your friends.
This film was made as part of the 2009 Houston 48 Hour Film Project where teams made a 4 – 7 minute short film (before credits) using a few required elements and a genre pulled from a hat. All aspects of production including writing, filming, rehearsing and editing took place over the weekend of June 5th – June 7th.
The required elements were:
Character: Jarod or Janice Puller (Officer)
Prop: A ball
Line: “I’m just not sure about that”
Our genre: foreign film.
Amy’s husband Jai has been missing for two months and every time she closes her eyes she has nightmares about him dying. Unable to get help from the Indian authorities or the American embassy, she follows a vision to visit a guru with a secret who promises her dreams of much happier times.
