"A local hustler takes one last shot at proving he earned his notoriety."

1st Place Winner - The Fort Flicks 48hr Film Challenge

This is how it works... 12 teams competed in a challenge that lasts the duration of one weekend. Participants are sent an inspiration package on Friday at 7:00pm consisting of 3 elements that must be utilized in their final submission. Points are scored based on how well these 3 elements are used in their film which cannot exceed 5 minutes in length. Consideration is also given for scene framing, editing, storyline, etc.

This year's inspiration package was: Theme - Perseverance Prop - Ball Phrase - "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." Based on these parameters, you are required to write, shoot, edit and submit your short film by no later than 7:00pm Sunday evening which also means allowing time for uploading on your end and downloading on their end.

It was a pleasure meeting the other participants, witnessing how everyone approached this project and enjoying a great weekend!

Produced in association with Creative Compass Society & The Fort Flicks during the 2023 Fort Langley Film Festival.
