Its that no sleep time of year again…

Here is the short we made for the Sci-Fi London 48 Hour Film Challenge 2015. We made the shortlist. Which means we get to go to the award screening on the 3rd of June. We’ll have to wait til then to find out who wins. I’ve done a little post on the final shot here.

Out of the Hat

The script was developed from random items drawn out a hat on Saturday morning, and the final short is delivered on Monday morning. The schedule is crazy and half the teams don’t finish.

With a very special thanks to John Price

Oakiness: Anthony Gurner

Oakiness is our traditional credit. Tom worth was orginally given it in ‘Sign Language’ for being the person who mucked in and went above and beyond their job to get the film made. So each year we pick a crew member to be the Oakiness credit. Last year it went to Riki’s van Hobbes! This year Gurner for doing DIT, editing and doing the drone cam and generally just being ace.
