As part of my internship at The Martin Agency I took part in the 48 Hour Film Project (48HFP) in Richmond.

Teams pulled genres out of a hat on a Friday and had 48 hours to write, shoot and edit their movie.

All films were required to have the three following elements:
1. A Character named Nat or Natalie Uplifter who is a "Therapist".
2. A Prop "a Letter".
3. A Line - "I've been trying to tell you that."

We took home two awards:
Best Cinematography
Best Editing

Below are some pictures taken during the making.

Picking a Genre

Before picking our genre Andrea (our Director) asked me if there was one genre I didn't want. I said "Just horror". Life is funny.

Setting the mood

ACTING!

It looks like I'm asking everyone where we're going for beers after this but I'm really going over the scene with the cast/crew...I think.

Abby

Sam Robinson (Abby) looking concerned.

It looks like I'm posing here. But I'm not.

Action!

Besides writing and helping to direct I was also in charge of the clacker. By far the best job in "the business".

Editing

An hour to spare!

Dropped off our movie with an hour to spare.

Winner Winner!

Not only did we make it to the "Best of Richmond" screening we also picked up "Best Cinematography"
