This past weekend, I starred in another short film for the 48 film festival in St. Louis. For those who may not know, the 48 hour film festivals involve blindly picking a genre(s) as well as having to include several other prompt items. Your small production team then has 48 hours to script, shoot, edit, and submit a short film with all of that included. It’s a challenging way to make a movie, but it’s fun.

I’ve appeared in a handful of 48 hour short films in the past 10+ years. Last year, the production company I appeared with was Say Whaaat Productions. It was their debut to the world as they were just forming, and we had to make a musical and climate film. We made a musical comedy climate film that scored four nominations including best film.

This year we got handed a drama/vacation or holiday genre. We filmed last Saturday and submitted our short for competition on Sunday.

The film premieres September 1 during a 7pm showing with other short films. If you’re in St. Louis or nearby, feel free to score some tickets and come check out our film titled Pick the Bear.

Here are a few more behind the scenes photos I snapped:

I don’t want to get much into the plot or anything, since the film hasn’t premiered yet, and I don’t want to spoil anything. But after the premiere, I’ll write a bit about it and the experience more.
