A 5 minute short film I directed in 2010, produced within 24 hours.
A woman conspires with her girlfriend to betray and murder her husband, then kidnaps her mime ex brother-in-law who knows where her husband’s hidden treasure is buried. Meanwhile, the mime’s brother, who wants the fortune for himself, is hot on the couple’s trail.

The second annual Cinesol 24 Hour Film Dash kicks off next Saturday and I’ve been asked to direct this year’s offering by Orange Media. It looks about the same crew as we’ve had before except this time I’m directing and I’ve asked my 1st AC from last year’s 36 Hour Film Race if he’d like to DP. This will be my first film race directorial effort but it’ll be my fifth time competing with Orange so it shouldn’t be too stressful. We’re already used to the long hours and we’re all actually looking forward to the fun! So if you’re reading this and you’re going to be a part of this year’s Cinesol 24 Hour Film Dash: we’ll see you out there and don’t forget to say hi!
