Yep, it’s that time of year again, time for the 48Hour Film Project in SLC, Utah.

This year I am part of Josh Samson's team. His company "Mishu Productions” are in "Group C" of the lineup and our screening will be Thursday May 8th at 7:00pm. There are 4 groups of 11 teams competing, and the films will be screened at the Broadway on the 7th & 8th with a wrap party and awards on May 12th.

We almost didn’t get in to see our film!

We ended up waiting at the door for scalpers!

So definitely get them right NOW!

Each film must contain these "Elements"

Character:	Jacob or Janice Simon, Instructor
Prop:	a jewel
Line of Dialogue:	"Just wait and see."

I think everyone who played last year learned a lot and will take that knowledge and put it to good use this time out, so I’m excited to see how much improved this years entries are.

Our team pulled "Road Movie" as the theme or genre. The ideas were flowing on the drive home and the script was written within the first few hours. Josh called me ad told me that we would not be filming Friday night, but to be at his house early Saturday morning, and we’d go from there.

After picking up a few items and a lovely lady, we headed up Emigration Canyon to shoot. We started shooting somewhere around 9:30 and finished just before 3:00 pm. It was a beautiful day and I have the sunburn to prove it! This is a fun little story and I cant wait to see what Josh has done with it.

In summary, there are 44 films being made in Salt Lake City for the 48 Hour Project this weekend and that means there are at least 44 local filmmakers and actors to come support, probably more like a few hundred locals to come and support. It's a very fun & exciting experience, plus you'll get to see lots of local talent and how they all work under some pretty intense pressure.
