48 Hour Film Challenge

This film was made by Ed Saunders and a team of his friends who challenged themselves to make a short film in 48 hours from scratch, including story line, filming and editing - and all for less than £10.

Ed is one of the volunteers involved in Dulwich OnView, the online magazine that I’m co-editing, and this film was first shown on that site.

Ed says, “I organised the film weekend to give my colleagues a break from making boring corporate videos and to give my friends and family a chance to get involved in the filmmaking process.”

“To get the films started I wrote out the first lines of thirty novels and stuck them in a hat, each team then pulled out a line and had to incorporate it into their film either as dialogue, a scene, or just let it serve as a stylistic reference.”

The film was inspired by the first line: ‘Everett Hilgarde was conscious that the man in the seat across the aisle was staring at him intently.’

“I hope you enjoy it, it’s very silly but we had a great time making it!”
