a film in 48 hours

A band of buddies and I took part in the 48 hour Film Project; Seoul Chapter at the beginning of November. In only 48 hours, a team of filmmakers must race to write, direct, act, edit and score a five to seven minute film. With all odds against us, including the loss of half our footage due to 'technical difficulties', the ubiquitous phrase used to blame any and all things associated with inadequacies of computer play, we turned our film in on time. To prove the films were made in the specified 48 hours between seven PM on Friday, November 5th and seven PM on Sunday, November 7th, some specifics needed to be included.
First, the genre was to be drawn out of a hat. Our team chose SILENT FILM.
There was to be a prop. This was the famously delicious KIM, or dried roasted seaweed that runs rampant on every Korean dinner table.
Also, a Character: Her name was to be Lee Hyo Jin, a musician.
And a line of dialogue: "I make my own Luck".
With all these elements combined, teams were sure to relinquish all pre-planned ideas. In fact, although a smart idea, pre-planning was strictly prohibited.

We called our Film, "Chicken Soup for the Post-Apocalyptic Soul". It takes place post-apocalypse (obviously) in a house where strangers, forced to become friends, have learned to cope and are still coping with what could be the end of the world.

When humans are confronted with the dire, our relationships are what have the power to stand the test of time and tragedy.

Last night was the award ceremony. Out of 20 odd teams, our team won two awards! BEST Sound Design and BEST editing went to us. (I can proudly say that my ukulele was one thing that added to the effect of the sound design!)

You can watch R.I.N.S.E Filmworks production of "Chicken Soup for the Post-Apocalyptic Soul" on Facebook.

It may take a while to load... but it is worth the wait.

"Mustache Fable" ransacks a haunted house

Just when you thought they were sane, the two lovely ladies of Mustache Fable explore an abandoned haunted house in the wild forest in order to get into the mind set of their upcoming show! Preparing for their on stage soulful sound attack that will go down this Saturday eve, they will teach you what to do "When Bears Attack".

Live in concert at Roofers in the neighbourhood of Itaewon in Seoul, South Korea, Danielle and Hannah will enlighten you and mesmerize you. Within the Seoul Encyclopedia show, their performance is sure to be entertaining!

Founded by Robbie Q. Telfer in Chicago, The Encyclopedia Show has sought to awaken the inner dork in all of us through simultaneously educating and entertaining audiences around the US and Canada. It brings wordsmiths and visual artists together to create a verbal/visual Encyclopedia installment on a given topic. This time around it is "Bears"

This past August, Lauren Bedard, Executive Producer and Curator of The Encyclopedia Show-Seoul, has brought this concept across the ocean to enlighten audiences in South Korea.

The pilot installment, Gravity, was a huge success. Through live painting, short film, performance art, and spoken word, audiences learned about the force that keeps our feet on the ground and the planets in orbit.

To get a taste of what The Encyclopedia Show has to offer, check out streaming audio of the Chicago show at www.encyclopediashow.com. Or better yet, come and see for yourself Saturday, November 13th.
