Visa Presents: The San Francisco 48 Hour Film Project

So, I've been planning for months to enter the SF 48 hour film festival and in
the last
month ended up shooting a spec commercial that took all of my money. All of it.

A few days ago I went on the website planning to put the entry fee on my credit
card and
they are full, should have seen this one coming.

I'm looking to join in with a team who is already entered.

I took the weekend off work have been gathering grip and other supplies for the
shoot.

I am a DP/Director who has lots of experience as an AC with the HVX, 35 adaptor
(thanks
to last weekend), some familiarity with the RED, I know the DVX inside and out,
as well at
the XL1 and GL2.

I have two 600w tungsten lights with umbrellas and a soft box.

I have some misc gels and diffusions, black wrap etc.

I have a GL2 and nice tripod, you probably have something better though.

I got lots of costumes, army fatigues, masks, i think a firemans jacket as well
as a BFA in
Cinema Production from SFSU.

Looking to join a laid back team of filmmakers for a weekend of fun, creativity
and an
awesome movie.

Anyone, anyone?

I may double post in the general forum, I don't know how many of the guys and
gals from
SF post in here.

In that spirit, I really hope EVERYONE comes out to enjoy these films, whether or not your film is on the bill. I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

Dear Filmmakers:

So you made your film. Submitted it to film festivals. Screened for distributors. But no distribution. Worked with other distributors. But no success.

Check out IMOOVIES, LLC and www.imoovie.com. They want to be the independent film distributor that works with you to turn your project of passion into a financial success.

Your film is not a film unless it has an audience.

Visit them to see how they can be a partner in your film's success.

"In Focus: The Making of a Short"

Check out MacFilmmakers this Wednesday!

An always popular segment of a MacFilmmakers meeting is showcasing
notable work by local filmmakers followed by Q&A. This Wednesday,
Joel "Sinohui" Hinojosa of Emerging Artist Productions and his
producing partner Bernard Fok will be presenting an extended cut of
their most recent short film "In Focus".

The originally 7-minute short was screened as part of the most
recent 48 Hour FIlm Project in San Francisco, where it screened at
the Roxie Theater. Now at a full 14 & 1/2 minutes in length, Joel
and Bernard will be discussing the process from inception to final
cut with members of the cast and crew in attendance

Shot digitally with prime lenses, the film is already gaining
notoriety, including its acceptance as an official selection of the
Kearny Street Workshop's Festival this September. For a look at the
poster for the film and a brief clip at popular online media site
MySpace, go to:

www.myspace.com/infocus_themovie

Doors open at 6:30 pm and meetings are open to the public. The
meeting is free. Parking is plentiful and free. All you have to do
is show up.

For those new to MacFilmmakers, De Anza Three Auditorium is located
at Apple's campus in Cupertino in a large building near the
southeast corner of De Anza Boulevard and Mariani Ave. Here is a
link to map. Note: just pay attention to the red hand on the right
side of the diagram (under the dreadfully out-of-date reference to
an "October 23rd Meeting"):

See you Wednesday!

I'm sorry that I forgot the name, but I would like to get a copy of
this film. It was the last film that showed Tues night at the 7pm
screening. If anybody could help that would be great. Thanks in
advance.

Hey SF 48HFP Yahoo Group Memebers!

The San Francisco 48 Hour Film Project kicks off in just a few hours! This is the big weekend for the filmmakers, and the debut screenings for all the new films are next week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, at the Roxie Film Center! See www.roxie.com for full details and advanced tickets, or www.48hourfilm.com/sf for more on the event as a whole.

I also need volunteers to help usher at the screenings. Whether you are making a film this weekend or not, now is your chance to help out, and get to see some of the films for FREE! At the screenings, next T, W, and Th, June 27-29, I need three ushers per screening to pass out ballots and help collect them at the end of the show. It's easy, and there are two opportunities each night, as there are shows at 7 and 9:30 (same night's films show twice). You're welcome to volunteer for one or both screenings on a given night, or multiple nights if you like!

If you are interested, drop me a note with the times you can help, and I'll follow up by email to confirm. Whether or not you can help out, I hope you can come out to see the films!

Cheers,

-JD
