“Lucky us.. drawing rom-com.”

This year eep! entered as part of The Mammal Group. And again, we tried to fit altogether too much into such a short space of time. But, we pulled it off! Handed in a fully graded, sound mixed version with eight minutes to spare.

UPDATE:
The Mammal Group wins Runner-up at the Wellington regional finals, along with Images & Sound Sexiest Short & Philmworks Best Editing!
Thanks to all who came to the finals, and congratulations to Dog Films for taking the top Wellington prize (and the rest)!

Made as part of 48hours 2008.

When hired to dispell the legend of the Fiordland Moose, Robin Slade follows Jerry Reed into a series of encounters with followers of “The Moose” and discovers that the moose may truly be within all of us.

Play the Mooseheart game! Spot all the elements from five years of the 48hours competition in New Zealand.

Mooseheart : A Wild Moose Chase

The following is based on a true story.

The names of those involved have been changed to protect their identities.

Recent evidence has come to light supporting the idea that moose still inhabit areas of Fiordland, New Zealand.

Jerry Reed may be one of the last living persons to have sighted one of these moose live. Failing health as a result of industrial misadventure has left him unable to return to prove his story.

Until now…

On the eve of the unveiling of new work by renowned international artist: RANE, the industries finest commentators gather to discuss the meaning of his work.

2006 presented us with another opportunity to enter the 48Hour Film Competition. 54 teams from Christchurch entered this year, more than twice that of last year. This year we drew Pretentious Art Film – and we delivered just that.

This years elements were:

• A character named Robin Slade, an eternal optimist.
• A mirror.
• A line of dialogue: “That’s what i’m talking about”.

We also threw in another red scarf for good measure.

For those of you who missed it during the film relevantartsblog.blogspot.com.

eep! wins four awards at the Christchurch Regional Finals

“Knawtra” wins Christchurch Runner Up
David Jensen wins Best Use of Fog for his work as Cinematographer
John Nuttridge wins Best Male Actor for his performance as Richard Verbavovich
Daniel Batkin-Smith wins Best Direction

When a hitman keeps getting distracted while on the job, he seeks help from the Doctor he’s been hired to “off”.

2005 saw the inclusion of the South Island in the 48Hour Film Competition. 26 teams from Christchurch entered to show the rest of the country what the south is made of. From a pool of genres including: Mockumentary, Noir, Disney, Action & Fairytale, we drew SPLATTER!

This years elements were:

• A character named Bodil de Rezney
• An animal lover
• A banana
• A line of dialogue: “Please don’t do that”

And, another optional element from Vodafone, a red scarf.

Congratulations to Gerard Johnstone and the members of team Crash Zoom for a well deserved win!

Every Sunday afternoon, these Two Men meet in the same place for a drink and discussion. But who are they, and what are their motives?
