Hey 48 hour crew. Please post links to some of your favorite short films in the comments and any comments about the shorts posted. This will help us get ideas and brainstorm.

To start it off: here is one from Melanie that shows that we don’t have to be long to be good:

How They Got There 

We are going to do it again.  If you are interested in being a part of our team this year the date is Aug 8-10.  More info to come.

Rick McKinley’s newest book, “This Beautiful Mess,” is about practicing the presence of the Kingdom of God. This three minute video walks through some of the main thoughts of the book.

Jonathan Ward cut together this video highlighting the Almost Free Store. Video by Jonathan Ward and Jonathan Collins.

This video was put together by Bethany Dudenhofer. The opening animation is done by Clayton Root.

Here is Imago Dei Film’s 48 hour film project entry:

Couple Notes:

1. Not sure if we made the “best of Portland” showing yet

2. We were going to clean this up a bit more and then post it online… but that would be a bit deceitful, huh? Below is the real 48 hour version.

3. Required Elements: PROP: balloon, LINE: “do you smell what I smell?” CHARACTER: Rachel Shwarz - Quality Control Agent, GENRE: horror.

Here are a few samples of the production stills Teri Winford took last weekend during the 48HFP. Great job Teri. To see all the photos go to her flikr page: The movie will be uploaded sometime after Thursday Night. So come back by.

We had a long but very satisfying weekend shooting a short for the 48 Hour Film Project. We were given the horror genre and balloons as a prop. With that, we understood that the only rational decision was to make a horror movie about sinister, flesh eating balloons. (OK, they weren’t flesh eating…but maybe if we had a little more time they could have been).Come see the world premiere of “POP” this Thursday night at the Hollywood Theatre, 9:45pm. It is likely to sell out so by tickets in advance from the box office or online:

We are making a documentary of Love Portland. The desire of the documentary is not to say “look how cool we are for serving the city,” but to tell the stories of the people we are serving and show ho God is using this grassroots movement to tangibly make a difference in the life of our city. We will have a meeting on Auguest 23rd (thursday) at 7PM…location to be announced. Keep that night free if you want to be involved in the doc. Email me with any questions - jonpdx at gmail dot com.
