The Brothers Watkins – NFC 2008

Posted under Film, The Brothers Watkins

43 hours ago, we found out what our required elements would be for the 2008 National Film Challenge. It is a filmmaking competition where competitors basically have one weekend to complete a 4-7 minute short film using some required elements as determined by the Challenge producers. It’s essentially the National version of the 48 Hour Film Project that we did earlier this year when we made Lifeline.

Here are the required elements this go round:

Character: Alex Watkins (Chiropractor)
Prop: A net
Dialogue: “Darn the luck.”
Genre: Holiday Film or Film de Femme

Lifeline was a Film de Femme, so we went with Holiday Film just to do try another genre.

Logline: After Wally makes a mistake that ruins the memory of past holidays, the Watkins brothers try to come up with something to make this Christmas a merry one for their mother.

Enjoy the show…

National Film Challenge

Posted under Film, News

About 6 hours ago, we were given a genre of film, a character, a prop, and a line of dialogue. We will have to incorporate all of this into a 4 – 7 minute short film similar to what we did on the 48 Hour Film Project.

Our genre is Holiday Film, and our script was just completed. It’s a Christmas comedy about three brothers trying to make mom happy. We start shooting tomorrow. Wish us luck!
