Posted by Barbara Barth on the Lilburn Patch ,
This is a partial repost from my blog on June 13th. It is a great opportunity to see how Old Town and its shops were stars in the seven-minute film entry for the Atlanta 48 Hour Film Project. Come see this film at a on Saturday, August 20th at The Little Shop Of Arts And Antiques on Main Street. Meet the producer! Film will be shown at 6:30 and 7:30 in the Old Town Lilburn Center For The Arts, 92 Main Street NW. Family friendly film that casts a spell of magic!
This past Saturday, from 8 a.m., to almost 8 p.m, Main Street was buzzing with filmmakers from the Atlanta 48-Hour Film Project.
Filmmakers Jayson Palmer and Chris Ethridge cameramen, to work on their entry in this annual contest. Main Street and its shops will be the backdrop for the short movie they completed for this amazing event. Antiques In Old Town is featured in one of the major scenes.
Just what is the 48-Hour Film Project? It is a sleepless weekend in which filmmakers make a movie. They write, shoot, edit and score it, in just 48 hours. No sleep, no rest, just a crazy wild time of creating something unique to enter into the contest! It begins at 7 p.m. on Friday night and ends at 7 p.m. on Sunday night.
All entries have to be received by 7:30 Sunday evening to be included in the contest. The finished film must be 4 minutes to 7 minutes in duration—not including credits.
Last Friday night, approximately 55 groups received the information needed to begin. The entries receive a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre. All have to be included in the movie — 48 hours later, the movie has to be complete and turned in by the deadline set for the competition. The following week it is shown at a local theater.
In 2010, nearly 40,000 filmmakers made 3,000 films covering 80 cities on five continents. This year the event is even larger with filmmakers around the world taking the challenge. The prizes range from local and international awards to the screening of the winning film at the Cannes Film Festival.
The mission of the challenge is to get filmmakers, and would-be filmmakers, to make films. The tight time frame for the project gets everyone into action, instead of just talking about ideas, they have to pull together and get it done. Teamwork and creativity are in the spotlight for the weekend.
The competition began in May 2001. Mark Ruppert, and his filmmaking partner, Liz Langston, called on several other DC filmmakers to form teams and join in a competition to see if a good film could be made in only 48 hours. The answer was a huge “yes”!
Old Town Lilburn is featured in the short film, "The Find."
