Since we were fortunate enough to have won 2nd place in the 48 Hour Film Project - Chicago , we were qualified to be in the global competition with the 48 Hour Film Project ! We spent this past weekend working on this new short and are excited to share it soon!

ICYMI: WE WON 2nd PLACE! What a pleasure it was to participate in the Pittsburgh 48 Hour Film Project this fall and get this far! We'll be releasing this short soon, but the reason this one was such a special win is because we almost scrapped the entire thing!

We worked all day Saturday to rehearse, work on costumes and set design, light, and film...and at around 9pm, realized none of it would work. So we started from scratch with an entirely new story, throwing out nearly everything that was done already. 11pm-3am was the time we took to film this, and the fact that it was so well received and got so far has the whole team so happy.

Huge shoutout to our cam op David Gall for making the long drive out to accept the award on behalf of the team!

Thank you to the Pittsburgh film community for being so welcoming, these 48 Hour Film Project competitions can get stressful, but we always end up having fun!

2 years ago we dropped a teaser for the project, offering the wider world their first glimpse of what we'd been up to for already nearly 2 years at that point.

Damn, that song is a banger Chris Danger Bongat!
