48 Hour Film Challenge

This coming weekend is the 48 hour film challenge, in which teams have 48 hours to produce a short film. The genre and some content elements get assigned at the start, then 48 hours later you turn in your finished product. There’re hundreds of teams entered up and down the country, and the top 7 films will end up shown on C4.
I’m part of the writing team for Jenni’s Angels, more or less the same configuration of folks who last year produced the delightful Its A Wonderful Library short, which missed deadline by a matter of minutes. Needless to say, we’re determined that this isn’t going to happen again!
And, I have to say, I’m confident. We have an extremely talented group, with a number of highly experienced people in key roles, and extra motivation from the heartbreaking deadline-missing of last year. Whatever we make is going to be good, because we’re going to make it good.

Dentist was happy. I crave the approval of my dentist, so, hurrah. Being the only backpacker in Europe carrying floss was worthwhile after all.

In email today: new baby photos from a friend in Syria; catchup message from friend in Mexico. I am happy with the world.

Out the window, I see rain come down into the valley in drifting misty sheets. The ferns are shaking in the wind.
