Lost Weekend Contest has launched

Last night at Silver Lake Film Festival's spacious Cinema Lounge, 13 teams turned out to register for SoCal Film Group's Lost Weekend 48 hour film contest.

The 13 teams have 48 hours, from 8pm Friday night til 8 PM Sunday night to conceive, write, cast, shoot, edit, and deliver a short film.

Teams randomly drew genres ranging from RomCom to Mockumentary, and immediately set off to make their films. Each film must prominently feature a candle, as a sort of honesty talisman to ensure the film is actually shot during this 48 hours. Also, the films must be "inspired" by a headline in this week's LA Weekly.

I'm sure there's at least 13 poor writers out there that got no sleep last night, and at least some teams have begun shooting. I envy them all!

Good luck to all, and be thankful the group voted down my favorite genre -"Western Musical".
