The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless weekend in which Tracey , myself and an ultra creative team we are putting together – will make a movie—write, shoot, edit and score it—in just 48 hours. We sat out last years competition in Tampa but just like Randy Jackson always says, “We are definitely in it to win it!” The contest is from July 16th – July 18th. Our team name is Leftover Films.
Here’s how it works. On Friday night,we pick a random genre out of a hat then we get a character, a prop, and a line of dialogue all to be included in our movie. 48 hours later, the movie must be complete. Then it will show at a Channelside the next week. Stay tuned for show times as unlike the summer blockbuster you only get one chance to see our movie!
In 2009, nearly 40,000 filmmakers made 3,000 films in in 76 cities. They claim it is the largest international film competition. Many films have even been shown at the Cannes Film Festival.
If you follow the blog then stay tuned to follow all the wild and wacky details of this ultra creative pressure cooker we like to put ourselves into. In the meantime if you are Facebooker like we are then stop by and say, “Hi!” Leftover Films Facebook
We were so excited to be able to share in Chanell and Donny’s big day! You know she is beautiful with a name like Chanell. She is a wedding and event coordinator out of Indiana with Merry Me Events. We just knew she was going to pull off an incredible event. The wedding was held at the wonderful Hammock Dunes Resort in Palm Coast. It was a more than perfect day as the two wed with the sounds of the waves of the Atlantic! The super 8mm film really added to capture the true beauty. The reception was spectacular with romantic pinks and blues and whites and gorgeous LED lights, a never ending procession of beautiful flowers and champagne flowing all night long. Cher, Merry Me Events owner, was there to make sure all went as planned. The soulful sounds of Kai Alece kept the party going till the wee hours of the morning. Congrats you guys!

This was a seriously fun and creative shoot and the video is proof positive that facebook is a great tool! I met Mariana and Khaled of Kismis Ink Photography on facebook as Tracey and I became huge fans of the very cutting edge and fresh photos they took. (Apparently they were also admirers of our work.) We hit it off immediately and we discussed ideas for a possible shoot. Mariana really was the brains behind this shoot and Holly Nazario of Creative Collections did the makeup, they really did all the work. Khaled and I were just the Muscle! We had two wonderful and talented models – Laticia and Janelle- who really got into the idea and this is what we came up with!

This is seriously a cool video!~ We were the official cinematographers at the Gasparilla International Film Festival for 4 days in March – following all the action and mingling with the stars. Raymond J. Barry got the lifetime achievement award and you may not know his name but click on the link and I guarantee you have seen most of his films. I was saying, “I didn’t know he was in that!?” We got to hang with Ryan Nece and Shelton Quarrels of the Bucs, Jerry Springer, Stephen Baldwin, Armand Assante and the Melora Hardin, Michael’s Boss from “The Office” (ok well we really didn’t hang with all of them but said “Hi” to most…lol)
The Rising Star Award went to Arielle Kebbel who was a student of local actor teacher Kathy Lauglin of Performers Studio Workshop. Kathy has coached many of the actors used in our short films!
The closing party was a blast and MMD Events designed a fantastic party, and the to die for delecables was catered by Good Food Catering Company and the bar was run by the fantastic uDream Events and DJ Fresh official DJ of the Rays rocked the house!
Check out the party here!
