One more writer, one to go!

Jimmy T in the AM has signed on to write a film! w00t!

This brings the lineup to:

1. Matt Bielewicz
2. Charles Benoit
3. Lindsay Muscato
4. Jim Tausch
5. [available]

I wonder who we can wrangle for the last slot ;)

The theme!

Pop it in a line of dialogue. Use it in the background of a shot. Name your film after it. Name a character after it. Theme your whole extensive and backstory-laden two-minute plot around it. Use it as a MacGuffin. Pluralize it. Capitalize it. Run with it. Love it. Cause one way or another, it's gotta be in there.


With much excitement and drumrolls all around... the theme is: 
"Watch for the Hand"

Two More Writers!

In addition to yours truly, we've got two more writers on board! Charles was happy to share that he'll be writing and directing one of the films (with Will and Ian providing production), and Lindsay will be writing one as well.

This brings the lineup so far to:

1. Matt Bielewicz
2. Charles Benoit
3. Lindsay Muscato
4. [available]
5. [available]

Goals, Theme & Requirements

Goal – 5 Films, Festival

5 films in total would be a great goal. Once the films are all complete, we'll have a film festival! Depending on a lot of factors (how many people, time of year when we finish, etc.) it might be in a backyard with a projector and sound system, might be at a rented theater, all depends! 

Theme

I will provide a short phrase that will become the theme of this little film festival. Writers/Directors can choose how to incorporate it—whether it's the title, an overarching theme, a line of dialogue, throwaway prop in the background, etc.

EDIT: The theme is "Watch for the Hand"

Production Requirements

• 2 minute runtime (+/- :30)
• HD video – 1080p preferred, 720p acceptable
• High-quality sound – i.e. probably not just the camera's internal mic for dialogue and location sound.

This is going to be awesometown!
