shucks.

A couple weekends ago, some friends and I entered the 48 Hour Film Festival 2010 in Louisville, KY.  Basically, you have from Friday evening to Sunday evening (hence 48 hours) to write, shoot, and edit a 4-7 minute film.  Each team draws a genre out of a hat, and every team must use the following character, prop, and line in their film.

Character:  Michael or Maggie Charles, a scientist.
Prop: A photo of mom.
Line: "What's that smell?"

Our team, TEAM EXTREME!, drew the genre Dark Comedy.  Our film won two awards: "Best use of Character" and "Special Judge's Award, Up & Comers"

Please watch it in full screen mode. Below is our film:

Graphic Design: Clovehitch Brewery

The Kentucky State Fair holds a homebrew beer competition every year, and one of the categories you can enter is "Series of Three Labels Most Likely to be Mistaken for a Commerical Brewery (representing different beer styles from the same brewer.)"  
                                                                                  I decided that Clovehitch Brewery would be an appropriate subsidiary of Clovehitch Productions.  
                                                                                  I won a blue ribbon for my category, and also took home the Best in Show award amongst all the labels.
