16th May...The Judgement Day....The Screening & What not....
We got to see 34 Films, from other participating teams for Mumbai 48HFP.
& we really enjoyed watching some of them. Namely, The U Turn for its amazing story & the way they treated their Genre...'Fantasy'
K9-Theron were technically far ahead of any film that was screened,
'Abla Nara' was Hilariously Amazing,
'Symphony Of Love' was soothing...
'Dude...where do we stand...' I asked Saumin (my partner in crime)after watching these superb films...
With that famous Zen look on his face came the reply..."We have done what we could've done...so let's wait n watch...."
We were happy with the response we got from the audience...what more can we ask for?
But still, it's a competition...Right!!
So like everybody else, we were also waiting for the winners names to be announced.

The Can Man
The Can Man...our first film. Made for the 48 Hour Film Project. Inspired from a real life serial killer's story, with added masala from seventies. We tried to tell the same story in an interesting & entertaining way by adding layers to the characters.
As it was our first attempt at film making, there were lots of things to learn & improvise on the spot. The shoot was fun & the editing was funnier.
We are waiting for the final verdict from the judges & more from the audience. We can't wait to hear your applause guys...
Have already started working on our second project...and are looking for collaborators.
