On Friday night, you get a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all to include in your movie. 48 hours later, the movie must be complete. This is the challenge posed to participants in the 48 Hour Film Project – and this past weekend a group of MLW Governor’s School alumni took up the challenge as part of the Richmond-area competition. Winners from each of the cities that participate are then invited to a national screening.
During a nearly sleepless weekend, Jordan Pridgen (’08), Justin Geldzahler (’08), Erik Larsen (’07), Jack Lee (’07), David Sawchak (’07), Tom Tibbett (’07) and Kirk Millikan (’08), along with several other GS alumni in supporting roles, completed their production. The resulting film is the fable "The Brothers Barlow."
Come see how it turned out this Saturday, July 26, 11 a.m. at the Byrd Theatre, 2908 West Cary Street. (“The Brothers Barlow,” will show at the 11 a.m. screening along with several other films. At 1:30 and 4:30 p.m., two additional groups of films will run.)
Tickets will be sold at the door, $7 per screening or $12 for an all-day three-screening pass. After the third screening is a wrap party at the New York Deli on the same block of Cary Street. All ticket holders are welcome at the party. For more information, visit www.48hourfilm.com/richmond.
