We're gearing up for the 2008 48 Hour Film Project this year to be held in Louisville on July 18-20, with the festival & screenings on July 23 & 24. Unfortunately filming dates coincide with the Dayton Air show this year, which some of us REALLY wanted to go to this year... so much for that. Anyway... staying up for 48 hours straight filming a movie is more important and more fun... if you rationalize it a certain way LOL.
Anyway we recently had a meeting to discuss and watch Star Wars films for the next (and final) contest we are entering. We almost blew ourselves up once and one of the crew almost got burned alive when we were grilling out... on a charcoal grill. We got this brilliant idea to put this little cast iron grill on top of a plastic milk crate to elevate it, completely ignoring the fact that it's PLASTIC... and plastic MELTS... so anyway, one of the guys had to pick up the entire grill that was on fire with burgers and hot dogs on it and separate it from the half melted milk crate and place it safely on the driveway. Not to mention that as we're pouring the lighter fluid on the grill to light it... the bottle caught fire and that could have ended V E R Y B A D L Y. Damn amateurs... LOL
Here's a video of Steven lighting the grill when he caught the lighter fluid bottle on fire! Note the grill is ON FIRE... standing on a PLASTIC milk crate...
So after the good food, good times, good singed body hair, we got some ideas for the Star Wars contest.
After entering this last contest (other than the 48 Hour Film Project), we are going to move PFC in a completely different direction. We are going to focus on original films to be submitted to film festivals. This is an exciting time for PFC as we look forward into the future. We're also thinking about launching a line of merchandise like bumper stickers, t-shirts, etc. and we'll keep you posted when/if that happens.
