The 2025 Wisconsin 48 Hour Project began last night with a script written by Karla Siemering Zyhowski and Jessica Contreras.

First thing this morning, filming began with Jeff Blankenship directing and featuring some of our favorite actors: Bryan Royston Craig Olson and Kurt Krauss!

Stay tuned!

Yesterday was the screening for this year's Wisconsin 48 Hour Film Project - Madison entries in Delafield, WI. LSP's entry, "A Tasteful Pick," (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32235664/), was represented by several cast and crew, some of whom are included in the images. Thank you to Kat, Michael, and all associated with the 48HFP! It's always an enjoyable experience.

Congratulations to all this year's participants!

I'm sad that my post on-set this weekend didn't seem to "take," but I'll recreate it, in part, after the fact. Better late than never...

This weekend was the Wisconsin 48 Hour Film Project - Madison. LSP had a wonderful team put together and a great location, due to the kindness of our gracious hosts! We're very happy with our finished product and look forward to seeing it, (and perhaps some of *you*), at the May 19 screening at Marcus Hillside Cinema in Delafield, WI!

Quite a few years ago, Living Storm Productions held a screenwriting contest, with the grand prize being that the winning script would be turned into a film by the company. Many great scripts were received and pored over, but the winning entry was a short film titled, "The Stone Carver of King Street," by writers Christine DeSmet and Peggy Williams.

Well, it's endured a pandemic, undergone a minor name change, (and other hurdles), but at long last, this past weekend, we were proud to put on a private screening of our now officially latest short film, The Stone Carver, a short film by Living Storm Productions, (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5912210). Around 50 people were able to see this wonderfully heartfelt project and a handful of other featured LSP films from years past, including Christine and Peggy, who have been beyond patient, waiting for this day to come.

Thank you to all who helped to bring this project to life, to those who came out to the screening, and to Director Jeff Blankenship & Esker Software for coordinating and hosting the event!

The next step for this film is to find festivals to submit to before being able to release to the public via our YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/LvngStrmPrdctns.
