The 48 Hour Film Competition is done and gone for another year.
Our flick, Loose Cannons, picked up a few awards last night at the Garrison District Ale House, where the Top 3 films were screened. We snagged the awards for Best Sound* (Jordan Roherty), Best Editor (Travis Grant), Best Director (Travis Grant) Best Actor** (me) and were overall named Best Film as well as the Fan Choice award. Loose Cannons also got nominated for Best Supporting Actor, Cinematography and Best Use of Inspiration Package
As for the rest of the top 3: In 3rd place was Fort Wars – a mockumentary about a group of friends who live in a blanket and cushion fort like the ones we all made as kids – which I thought was really funny. 2nd place went to Inception spoof Urinception – a man can’t wake up from his dreams and wets the bed.
*Best Sound wasn’t an actual category, but the judges gave honourable mention to 3 categories that they felt should’ve been awarded and Best Sound was one they would’ve given to us*
Obviously we’re thrilled to have been recognized in that way. We were very pleased with the way the film turned out, considering it was written, shot and edited in only 48 hours. Congrats to all the film-makers that submitted their work. There were 11 teams and 11 very different films. A few of my favourites: Fort Wars, Urinception, Rex & Deactivated (which, was a rare drama among a lot of comedy.)
Anyway, without any further adieu, Since the Competition is all said and done, our film is now online for your viewing pleasure. Loose Cannons is about two rogue detectives, Coop Rosco (Me) and Layton Biggs (Brandon Barton – my bro) who seek to take down the city’s biggest drug lord.
*Contains some adult language and mature themes. Viewer Discretion is advised*
I hope you enjoyed! Feel free to leave a comment below and let me know what you think. I can’t wait til the next one.
-Crash-
** For my acceptance speech I thanked Charlie Sheen: 'It's nice to be winning; I feel the tiger-blood flowing through my veins; thank you..."
PS: Uncle Rob’s recent blog post really dug into me for my losing streak with regard to Roll Up The Rim, which as of typing this stands at 0-17. Good for you Uncle...you won on your first try...today’s Roll Up Loss picture is for you... haha
All in good Fun!
