Captain’s Blog (48hourfilm.com POST)
Another great time.
The compressed period that this goes down in maintains every circumstance found in ordinary production, instead it comes at you with whiplash fury. Unexpected weather, loss of locations,
overworked equipment issues, overworked people issues, car trouble, unstable shooting conditions, and an ever approaching deadline to name the obvious. But you also have great long days with an ever-rotating compliment of people that compress all the anticipation and
dedication of a long term project into a brief head spinning time.
It is for all the good and bad things we do this to ourselves because in 48-72 hours it’s over, like coming home from the shore at the end of the summer. We have pictures and home video, great
stories, and a final product of all our efforts. Now take that work and perfect it, doing all the things you would have done if you had more time, and create something that lives beyond the weekend, always maintaining it’s origins.
The whole thing is something people like us don’t usually have a reason to do.
So keep your heads on and enjoy yourselves, we certainly did. “When can we go back?” Let’s see there are two nationals coming up, one in the summer….one in the fall….

“FENTON’S FURY” - Now Available Online!
Well we did it, but we couldn’t have without the help of a very dedicated cast & crew. We’ve posted the film in our standard DOWNLOADABLE XVID format, but in the coming days we will be adding Windows Media Player STREAMABLE versions of everything.
If you absolutely can’t get anything to work then go to ‘myspace.com/germanchickenlover’ and our Director of Fatography should have them posted there.
There will be a screening of our film along with all the other contestants TUESDAY 3/28 in downtown Philadelphia. If you are interested in going CONTACT John and if we place
well we may be a part of the ‘Philadelphia Film Festival’ this FRIDAY 3/31.
Wish us luck!

DELLAVISION RETURNS with the 48HOUR FILM PROJECT
The wheels are in motion for this months contest, this is the first time we’re doing a 48 hour competition as opposed to the 72 hour ones of the past. More preparation is in order and although everyone will be there for less time we must work twice as hard.
We are trying to have a meeting of all essential crew beforehand to discuss wild card genres, get paperwork completed, lock down locations, and to collect the entry fee and budget for the weekend - this will be a minimal amount per person.
Whoever is willing to stay over on said weekend is encouraged to do so, just bring a pillow/blanket to guarantee your comfort.
If anyone needs to contact me the send an e-mail to: John
Thats all for now, get ready for later.
