FireFly- 48 Hr Film Project

Firefly was our first entry into the first annual 48 Hr film project competition. Teams have 48 hrs to write, produce, shoot, edit and score a 4-7 minute piece.  The rules dictate that each short has to include a specific line, character, and prop, AND each team draws a genre that must be followed.  We chose “film de demme” so naturally we thought of our good friend Kevin Burdick and his song about a waitress that slaves away all night to provide for her family.  We needed to create a story line that could be resolved in a short time period, so we had some drug-crazed kid come in and hold up the diner and let our humble heroine make everything better.  For this short we won an award for “Best Writing.”
