The 48 Hour Film Fest has arrived!!!! I’m ready to try this out - though intimiated by all of its requirements hahaha. Starting bumpers!? Ending credits. When I signed up, I didn’t realize I’d ALSO be taking care of my daughter solo over the same weekend. In addition, I didn’t get any paperwork signed to film around the city - nor really anywhere on not-private property… so my locations will be limited to my house and my ex’s house. I also don’t really want my daughter to be in this either… so it’ll just be a solo movie. This is really setting myself up for some serious constraints. I’m not sure what to expect or what I’ll create - or if it’ll even get “done” - cause, I’m setting myself up with a lot of limitations. But sometimes, that really works!
Why Attend: My goal is to make movies that will play in literal theaters one day soon. And short series. And more. I know it sounds crazy and ambitious, but I think it will happen and I have some great ideas for topics, as I’ve said many times. There’s an idea I have for a reality tv show like “Project Runway” but for teachers/education and having school projects/activities. An idea to help glamorize education and make it cool again. Many ideas like this, with longterm goals in mind. So… this 48 hour film fest is really to challenge myself and just try something surprising. I’m not sure what to expect and how great it’ll even be (for my standards) - but you know… I’d like to try it my best!! And what would make “being allowed to film around Seattle” really make it any better than not? I mean… sure, my initial idea was to make a tourism video of Seattle - but, I can do that next year. Not to be a procrastinator, but really to be realistic. I’d like to make something great one step at a time and there’s plenty on my plate now. So, let’s see how trying a movie again for the first time in like 10 years goes!! :)
