48hrs Heats and Reviews

Hi Folks,
Well, let me update you on the 48 hours shenanigans .

A bunch of folks from Team Squashed Pineapple Lump made the drive down to Dunedin on Friday to attend our screening of Dig Deep,Dick in the 4th Heat for Dunedin affiliated teams.

Delighted to see another Wanaka team (well, 1 member of the team made it there)- Team Mystitron with the quirky film  'The Sound of Penguin'.
Had I known there was another team from Wanaka taking part  I would have covered them in this blog.(Any Mystitrons out there - get in touch if you would like to tell us about your 48hours production etc.)


Dig Deep ,Dick was received extremely well , in-fact it got the Audience Favourite Award!

With plenty of entertaining movies to watch - we all had a great time.
Shout out also, to our neighbors over the hill, Queenstown team-  "Team Super-Best-Friends", and their film 'The Gurgitator'.
Awesome flick guys - hope to catch up again soon.

You can check out reviews for all films in our heat here (Including the very nice reviews for Dig Deep,Dick.)

We will find out on Tuesday ,I believe , if we have progressed to the City Finals , which will be in Dunedin on May 9th . FINGERS CROSSED!!

48

So tonight at 7pm , it's all on!
V48hours film competition kicks off this weekend .
Best of luck to all the teams taking part.

A special shout out to Wanaka's own Squashed Pineapple Lump

Thanks to all who have helped and who will help over the weekend.

Don't be surprised if a sleep deprived team member is looking at you funny over the next couple of days.
They are probably thinking - hmm , that guy would look great for the part of the evil henchman,
or something.
It's all good fun and the best thing about it is that by Sunday evening , there will be hundreds of new films born in New Zealand!

You can keep an eye on what's going on over the weekend by checking out the Squashed Pineapple Lump twitter feed @V48SPL and also the Wanaka Film @wanakafilm twitter feed

Hopefully there will be time to let you know how we are going.

Here also , is the winning entry to the V 48 seconds comp.Congratulations to these guys.

Enjoy.

Robert

My 3rd stab at this years V48seconds challange - It's a bit dodgy.

Before you click on the play button I should warn you that this may not be to everyones taste and I would encourage you not to play it if you are easily offended.

Really , don't play it.
