You Have 72 Hours Before The Dog Gets It

So in only 72 hours, our good friend Dave and his hard working team put together a film for the 72 Hour Film Shootout Competition. The result — Time’s [Not] Up, watch it here — was an excellent, character-driven piece of storytelling. And guess what? It won Best Story, Best Editing, Best Direction, and Best Goddamn Film!

This is not surprising. All the elements came together in this thing. The story established itself quickly, the characters were endearing, interesting, and well-painted. PART OF THIS WAS SHOT IN THE LA SUBWAY. What have you ever seen shot in the LA subway? “Speed”, but there they had to build a set and crash it. Things aren’t shot in the LA subway because it’s hard to shoot in the LA subway. But our friend has bollocks, so they shot in the goddamn subway.

Congratulations, Team Head On. This was a great piece of work and deserves all the kudos it is getting.
