Back To The Future

Once we hit 88mph, you're gonna see some wicked shit...
Okay so change of plans, next weekend is the Texas Filmmakers 48 Hours of Hell. I'm currently trying to get a team together to shoot a short film next weekend. We have competed in this festival before and have won the much coveted Audience Award for Best Picture. During this competition we have 2 days to write, shoot and edit a film. At the start of the festival we approach our task blind. We can only plan a few elements we would like to use in the film, because elements of our film are determined at the beginning of the festival. A few months back a friend of mine suggested that I rent a DeLorean for my birthday, cause I'm turning 25. I looked into and found a guy who owns a DeLorean, and has decked it out to look exactly like the Time Machine in Back to the Future. I was thinking we could structure our film around a Back to the Future theme. It is of my opinion that we should shoot a really simple comedy for this festival. Everyone shoots a really bad horror film and does not win. There is a cash prize for the winners and it's going to be screened at Art House Six on the 22nd.



I originally wanted to do something simple for my birthday, but then i got to thinking about it and i realized that there is nothing I want to do more than shoot a movie. When I found out that this guy had a DeLorean I knew we had to do something. There are not many times in your life in which you are given an opportunity to do something so cool. I do need lots of help, being handicaped and all. Which is where I'm having trouble. I've been asking people left and right if there interested and have found nothing definite. Odds are I'll probably do what I did last time and create a team at the last minute. That usually works best for me. If you're interested let me know...
