TMinus72 from the 72 Hour Film Festival
The Rialto was packed last night for the screening of the 72 Hour Film Festival and its epic 3 hour marathon of 5 minute movies. As with previous years, there were certain restrictions on the movies. In addition to being shot, edited, and delivered in a (rainy) 72 hour period, every film had to include the the line “I feel like I’ve been here before,” a fortune cookie, a person blowing bubbles, and a museum.
It’s always hard after an evening like that to recap the entire night succinctly. 28 films. A range of topics. The usual stuff… Zombies. Drug Deals. Scenes of people running through the streets of Tacoma. Several awards. I’m happy that my garage wasn’t used for a climactic murder scene in somebody’s film this year…
So…
From the guys that brought you South 5 and South 5: True Grit, here’s the winner of “Best Use of Location” Tminus72.
“T-town’s got 72 hours left… what would YOU do?”
What would you do?
More coverage, results, and commentary at The Spew
Bonus
Here’s the Tacoma Gnome submission… that didn’t quite make it to the festival.
And the 2008 Winner, Army of Two.
And another one… Perkins Window.

The best one was the crew who decided to make a mockumentary about the creation of another movie.

I loved the Perkins Window. There has to be prize for condo folks collaborating on a film fun fest.

Perkin’s Window was kind of obnoxious. It was popular at the festival, because they had their entire building there.
