We took a small break from the movie this past weekend to enter into a 10 hour film competition.  Here is our entry and little piece explaining.

NOTE: Give the video 10 seconds. We had to put ten seconds of black as a bumper at the beginning.

The same crew that will be bringing you 0:22:43 also gives you 12th Street.

This short was created in 10 hours as an entry into the Independent Filmmaker’s Coalition of Kansas City’s One Night Stand Competition.

The One Night Stand gives filmmaking teams 10 hours to write, shoot, edit, and deliver a no more than 5 minute short film. The 2009 ONS competition required teams to include:

Prop: a piece of paper

Line of dialog: “It’s alive, It’s alive”

Theme: unrequited love.

This short tied for the Captain’s Choice Award after screening in the competition. We are all very proud of the work we did and hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.

This is uploaded exactly as it was turned in, so there are a few changes to the credits that I failed to insert due to time restraints, so I apologize:

The short was written by Jerry White, Anthony Thompson, and Allie Terveer.

DP stands for Director of Photography, in case you didn’t know. I didn’t have time to make the long title and my long name look good, so I just substituted DP.

Allie Terveer was also an indispensable member of the editing team.

Thom Proctor composed the music within the 10 hour time limit, so give him a round of applause for that.

Please, leave your comments and questions below and we shall address and answer them.

UPDATE: The requirements for the site logo competition are as follows:

- Size: 940px x 110px
- Background Color: #333333
- If the design has corners, they must be rounded.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to Contact Us.

Ok, hopefully the title got you excited.  This is a pretty awesome little announcement we have for you.

We need a graphic designer.

Look.  Look up at the title for this website.  That is pretty freaking blase, right?  Well, here’s your chance to get some sweet 0:22:43 swag!

We need a logo for the movie’s website.  What I suggest is a competition of sorts to design and choose our logo!  What we need is something that will give the impression and feel of this fine psychological horror/thriller.  The only requirements are that the background color of the image be #333333 and the image be in a standard file format like JPEG, PNG, or GIF (if you must).

Hopefully we will have a pretty good response to this call for creativity and if we do, the Trio of myself (Anthony), Jerry, and Allie will judge and choose the top two or three (we may adjust this number based on submissions) and then let you, the fans decide.  We will create a poll for you to vote on and the winning design with the most votes will become the new logo for the website!

What do you get for your designing troubles?  Well, you will get a designated, official credit as the movie’s graphic designer/artist and a free copy of the DVD signed by as many of the cast and crew as we can wrangle.  The winnings may be subject to change until the other two “sign” off on the decision.

So, all entries should be emailed to anthony (at) 2243themovie dot com and we will take entries until the end of June.  Again, the date may be moved forward or back depending on mitigating factors.

If you have any questions, concerns, comment, etc. about this competition or anything else, please feel free to utilize the Contact page and we will get back to you soon!  Leave a comment and break out your graphic design skills/friends!
