GAME ON TWO
At the close of the Game On One screening, everyone had to decide if they wanted to do the next round. If so, they were given a fortune cookie from the chinese take-out we had.
1) 5 minutes or less.
2) Your theme is the fortune from your cookie - this is very open to interpretation.
3) You must have a title card stating your fortune prior to the beginning of your movie, but following 10 seconds of black.
4) End with a title card stating that the movie has been part of the Game On project.
5) ***A FORTUNE COOKIE MUST APPEAR SOMEWHERE IN YOUR MOVIE***
Game On is a filmmakers club started by Laura Miro and Alyssa Lobit (that's moi). We invited friends, both pros and complete newbies, to play. Here's how it worked: Each round started off with an email detailing parameters for a short film. If you were in, you showed up on game night for the screening (usually about 6 weeks later), completed movie in hand. Outside of that, it was up to each person to figure it out, though help was offered and utilized whenever necessary in different areas such as editing, music, etc. The point of Game On is to provide a venue for people to put their cameras where their mouths are. Or something. While having fun was the true purpose, some of the films have gone on to play in festivals. That's right.
The titles are hard to read but the fortune was:
"Allow yourself time, you will reach success."
