The 48 Hour Film Project is a Worldwide Event that occurs throughout the year where film teams participate. The event is usually held locally but extends further throughout if selected to Cannes. Teams would meet up, pick a genre out of a hat, and then after be given elements to put into the film that needs to be done exactly 48 hours later. With all of the madness, it’s no wonder many teams have fun and participate in the event.
Last year, our film was “The Ladder Theory”, where you can check out our submission in our website. Our facebook has all the behind the scenes pics from all our previous short films, including this 48 Hour Film Project, “I’m Here” which was amazing to shoot with the great cast and crew we had.
Above is the trailer, where we will be given the privilege to screen on June 22nd, 2011 at the Historic Lumiere Theater in San Francisco, tickets are $10. Our friends Square Marden will also be screened at June 16th, 2011 along with “GRIM”
The required elements given to us for the project were…
Genre: Mockumentary Character: Dan or Danielle Sagan Occupation: Debt Collector Prop: Chalk Line: “Do you have any questions?”
Come out to see what we ended up doing with these elements! We hope to see you there!

For those of you who are new to SFF, Short Film Friday is weekly blog where one of us from Hi And Bye Productions blogs about a short film that we thought is interesting, meaningful, or just plain awesome.
This is a great video by Phaseone directed by Vadim Gershman & Ryan Powell.
The video has two characters the entire time, but you never see them, only through what we can assume is their text messages. Not only is the music in the background awesome but it matches up the mood of the situation. What you can see are the visions of a a driver, or passenger in a car driving through the city lights. As the music paces gets faster so does the heat of the argument from the couple, and when it gets slower, you feel a sense of loss hope. Does the couple end up resolving this?
Today, Anderson West created a witty short called First Day. Oscar, a kid with no intention ended up in detention and during his time there we all get to see how he ended up there.
This week’s Short Film Friday is an oldie but a goodie from Wong Fu Productions called “At Musing’s End”; one of my favorites that they’ve done. This short film tells a story about a girl and her relationship with a boy she met on the train which later transcends into something bigger. Although, in the end of their relationship, just like all other relationships, things just seem to end at a climactic surprise.
Hi and Bye started with a dream: to change the way we see our world. Our mission is to move audiences with universal themes, dazzle them with visual spectacle, and to use innovative film-making techniques to empower auteurs so that they too can have a medium to tell their stories. Read more...
