48 Hour Film Project to Begin

So tomorrow begins the 48 hours of sleep deprivation and creativity known as the 48 Hour Film Project. I am working with a group as a writer so my contribution starts tomorrow evening after we get our genre. I'm nervous and excited and have no idea what to expect.

If you've never heard of this, it goes something like this.

Production teams choose a genre, a character's name, a prop and a line of dialog at random. They then have 48 hours to create a 4-7 minute film that incorporates all of those things from the writing of the script to the filming of the scenes to post production.

I imagine with so little time will come very little sleep. Although my involvement may not go beyond the initial creative flurry happening tomorrow night as we write our script. I'm way too used to working for live theatre. This will definitely take me out of my comfort zone.

Anyway, wish me luck
