The Machinegun Opera

A film done for the "48 Hour Lockdown" here at Calarts. A 48 hour lockdown is when we pick a weekend to just sit down and finish some sort of film in under 48 hours, usually centered around some sort of random subject.

This lockdown took place before Holloween 2006 and happened to center around "tube socks" by some random draw of the hat. When I was sitting around trying to think of what kind of movie I could make about tube socks, I just figured "THESE TUBE SOCKS, THEY NEED TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE."

And so, here is The Machinegun Opera.
