In preparation for the 48 hour film fest this weekend, the Beargrass Media team got together and made a warmup movie on Wednesday night. Now everyone has worked together before, and we all speak roughly the same language. And we made this cute little 3 minute story called “Squoze” (or is it “Squeezed”?). We are officially ready for the weekend!

2018 48 Hour Film Project
For the 7th straight year, Beargrass Media will be competing in the 48 Hour Film Project. We feature a cast of all youth and have many tech, editing and musician roles done by youth as well. If you are a new or returning member, please read the content below for details.
To let us know who’s in, and what times you are available. Please fill out this signup genius with your available times. The more times you are available, the bigger potential parts you will be eligible for.
INSERT SIGN UP LINK
Our past entries in the project are linked below on this page. Here’s generally how it works:
The film making weekend this year is Friday July 20 – Sunday July 22.
A few weeks before that date, we get commitments from team members who wish to participate. This includes, actors, camera and sound crew, musicians, and editors. If time permits, The week leading up to the competitions, we will get together and make a short video on a deadline to get our roles and responsibilities lined out and figure out how we are going to work together.
On Friday, July 20, the team leadership (Patrick Fitzgerald and Amy Fitzgerald) will attend the kickoff event where we will receive the 4 elements: The required prop, line of dialog, the character, and we draw 2 genres. We select a genre and go back and start writing and casting. We send out a late night or early morning emailto the group to let people know their assignments. We’ll have a team meeting at 9 AM on Saturday to do a table read of the script and begin filming. Any parent who are able to transport kids to and from filming locations are very welcome to attend and assist on shooting locations. Obviously, we have no idea of shooting locations until the last minute.
We wil record as long on Saturday as is required, and if necessary, we will pick up shots we missed on Sunday morning. Musicians will have 2 potential recording times: Saturday evening and/or Sunday morning, but it will be very fluid.
As we record, we will start to have team members organize and name clips and possible even edit scenes. We will edit Sunday all the way up until we are done or we need to turn it in. The films are due at 7:30 PM at Molly Malone’s on Bardstown Road.
And don’t forget paperwork. As you arrive for production, we will make sure you sign paperwork that gives up permission to use your acting, music, or creative editing for our project.
We will also make a movie trailer, a movie poster, and maybe T-shirts. So the work does not end when we turn in the film. The Films will preview at the Village 8 Theater on Thursday, July 26. These showing often sell out, so as soon as tickets go on sale, you will want to snap them up. As well as awards given out by the judges for best film, use of prop, use of character, etc., there are audience awards as well, so our attendance is critical to doing well in the audience awards.
So please fill out the signup genius, watch your emails, and hold on to your hats. It’s going top be an awesome weekend. Let’s get out there and make a great movie!
