Our newest short, made for the 48 Hour Film Project (New York).
With a crew of two (David and Kim), new gear, and a new editing system (to accommodate the new gear) we chugged through a weekend of filming.
We first drew Musical or Western and didn’t really have the cast, props, crew, song writing ability for either of those, so we re-drew and got Martial Arts or Stoner film. Another really difficult/weird choice!
We came up with a really goofy Martial Arts film, and had fun making it. Not our most polished piece, but a good time was had by all.
Kyle Walters (Kyle Walters) is a lazy, watchin’ tv kinda guy. Benjamin Grimes (Alan MacDougall) has an epic past of trial and triumph in the world of Martial Arts. Today, Grimes uses his training and concentration from his years in the martial arts as a Professional Organizer, and pays a visit to Kyle’s messy apartment.
Also starring Brian Morvant (Bringing up Bobby) and Vince Ortega (Mamma Mia! on Broadway).
Elements:
Character: Benjamin Grimes, Professional Organizer
Prop: Set of keys
Line: “You’re not going to believe what I just heard”

Why did you have to go with a big purple bar? It’s as if our standards and design ethos mean NOTHING to you, Kimberly.

While your premise is somewhat amusing, unfortunately you have confused organizing with cleaning – not the same thing. Your professional organizer would only be worth the “free” hour provided. Even though you were short on time you should have done a bit more research to be realistic. Better luck next time.

Given your level of expertise, I am glad you were at least somewhat amused.

It was more of a loose interpretation of our given character with the profession of “Professional Organizer”. The idea of a sort of Feng Shui guy came about from our genre being Martial Arts.
Aside from that, amusing is about as good as we could hope for in 48 hours!
