24hr Video Race Done

Daniel here...

If you didn't follow manamal on the tweet hot line, we finished our movie at 10pm. Managed to make a new cut by 11pm and turned in a really nice film. It is called Sweet Potatoes, which was the joke title for a script I was working on last month, and it is about two sisters who are left with their Uncle Steve by their father for the afternoon and he takes them out for some mischief. The film is about responsibility, growing up, etc. I am very happy with the film overall. We technically had an unprecedented 6 writers. (!!!) It was the first film for Adrian and I to work on together creatively since Sleet/Snow, and post our mini-festival run for said film. I don't think it is much fun a Schadenfreude, but we didn't focus on last year. We just focused on making this film. It was very liberating to think of it that way.

I will be posting our final film by tonight for all your viewing pleasure, but even still it is always best to see any film on a big screen so we will be updating here on the Manamal Twit for all screening times. Our first and potentially last will be later this week. Congratulations to everyone who participated, especially to those who finished. I was happy to see so many of friends going through this bull shit on their own terms. 24hr is a fun shitty ride, and I'm glad it is over.
