48-hour film project kicks off



Just an hour and half until hundreds of local folks start running around trying to write, produce, score and edit a short film in two days time. At 6 p.m. tonight, each team gets the character, prop and line of dialogue its required to include in its film, and by 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, they've got to have a finished product to be eligible for prizes.

Then, all the films screen Aug. 10-11 at Riverdale, and the "best of" show a week later, also at Riverdale.

Below, I've posted all the participating teams, their team leader and when their film screens.

Go Team Arkansas Times! It's helmed by easily the most talented guy on staff, David Koon, with several other staffers pitching in. I think they've got a chance.
