Roberts-Hirshorn: A Case Study (2012 48 Hour Film)

1 Comments 25 Jul, 2012

After an utter writing failure lasting some 17 hours straight we almost threw in the towel.  A brief nap and a pep talk later from Carolyn, we pulled up our britches and began shooting around 3pm on Saturday.  Photography finished around 10pm.  This marks our 7th year in the competition.  It’s a simple story, simply told by a wonderfully talented cast and crew.

Prop:  Flowers

    Never ever throw in the towel! Often the biggest obstacle to writing is our rational brain. I think you picked a great vehicle for story-telling and over-coming the rat. brain. Well done, Harvey and crew!!! Be proud!
