I wrote up my notes on the Group B showing. I wish those fools at the Project would update their website!
| Title | genre | team name | notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strong Hand | Musical / Western | Single Frame Alliance | Very pretty- I think they may have tweaked the color or something. It wasn’t very true to genre however… a man gets a card reading from a Gyrpsy. I wonder if the director, Angel Vasquez, has other work? |
| Human Skin | SciFi | Autonomy 16 | Many team members in attendance- one of the crappiest movies but also one of the most fun. Aliens who feed off the stolen human bodies they inhabit are sent as part of an invasion force, and they get new hosts at parties. |
| Face the Music | Noir | DVI | I think this was a real production company of some sort- or maybe not. The story was very poorly developed and basically was this gross saxophone guy abusing the woman who promised him success. |
| Unhitched | Detective / Cop | Jump Cut Productions | ? |
| Hall of Poetic Justice | Superhero | The Reel McCoys | A superhero gets dumped by his girlfriend and he goes through the stages of getting over it. Cute… a lot of shots around the Church park area. |
| Waiting for Shuhorne | Romance | Bad Squirrel (Tech TV producers) | three people in a waiting room of a video dating service- a geek, a bitchy artist, and a b-boy. Pretty funny… a lot of pointless swearing. The lighting was one of the best and the editing was very good; there were reaction shots for example which was hard to pull off in the given development time. This team won the Audience award. |
| Donuts Are Forever | Spy | Shiznit | This one was awesome- a bond movie revolving around donuts in which Bond fights “Dofeld” and his henchman who throws a record. Complete with soundtrack! |
| Shrink Killer | Mystery | Team Harkavy | A woman hires a PI to find her stalker. Except he’s actually her shrink and she’s just nuts. |
| The Best Plastic In The World | Fantasy | Zip-Pow (X-Corps ?) | A woman showing off her Tupperware collection and then rolling around on a bed with it. Half-assed but funny in how brazen it was. At one point she seals a record into a large bowl. |
| Flight of the Icarus | A documentary about an incredibly flawed entry into the Redbull Flügtag, complete with shots of the actual Flügtag. At first I was thinking “How did they do this?!! Did they bet on having ‘Mockumentary’?!?” But no, they never show the team actually participating in the real event. | ||
| Fancy Coffee Drinks | Comedy | God Called and He Wants His Talent Back | Cheesey… this is the team the SF Chronicle followed around. It included a Hindi-movie styled dance number, making it a Musical, and had a Romantic plot. Hmmm…. almost as if they wrote a single script ahead of time and hoped they would get one of those three genres! |
