Look Ma, We Made A Movie!


What an interesting experience I had this past Saturday! My friend Molly decided at the last minute to enter a film contest, The Boston Film Race.

Tonight we screened at the Brattle!!! Woo Woo.
Anyway, the 'race' was to conceive, script, shoot, and edit a film of 4 minutes or less in 12 hours. We assembled a motley crew. At 12 noon on Saturday, we got the theme (a rumor) and the surprise element (looking in a mirror).
The good news is we had loads of fun, learned a lot, and completed a film in 12 hours!
Our film is called "Friendly Neighborhood Militia."
Don't ask.Don't tell.

The bad news is we were competing against more experienced film students with better equipment.
But, I got to see my fat butt up on the big screen-- in a real movie theater-- not something most gals can say!
p.s --no horses were injured during the shooting of our film.
