48 Hour Film Project Seattle 2015
I had a blast writing for a 48 Hour Film Project Seattle team. We were given our prompt on Friday at 7 p.m. and the deadline was Sunday night at 7 p.m.! Our film had to feature a holiday, Michael Anthony, a sponge and the line of dialogue: “I need to think.”
The experience gave me a whole new appreciation for everything that goes into making a movie. Thanks to team producer, Phillip Baca, for inviting me.
