The Mark - A new film made in 12 hours

"The Mark" was shot, scored, and edited in 12 hours for the San Francisco Film Race. At noon we were given a theme, "a message" and a surprise element, "drinking out of a straw."

We also made a film for the 2008 SF 24 film race called "Chore-No-More": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SalVVZJNgkI&fmt=18

Kingsley, that was fun! Didn't know you did movies too. Good luck with the competition and the career. Figured I'd post my own comments :)

It was fun to make! The story meeting at noon went so well it was as if all six of our minds were as one.

I'll keep everyone updated on the competition.

Awesome! Great short film and especially so, considering the time-frame.

I have to tell you it was very tight. I was holding the camera connected to my laptop at 11:50pm exporting the movie to tape!
