One Glass competes in the NYC 48 Hour FIlm Project!

This past weekend, One Glass Productions participated in the 48 Hour Film Project. If you aren't familiar with the competition, every year about 60 teams from New York City are asked to make short films within a period of 48 hours. All creative elements, including but not limited to, writing, acting, shooting, and editing, must be completed within 48 hours. To make things interesting, teams must incorporate an assigned prop, a character, a line of dialog, and a genre into their films, all of which are announced at the start of the 48 hour time period.

This year, One Glass received: a string instrument (prop), Thomas Ellison, former attorney (character), "I canceled my plans for this./?" (line), and Comedy (genre). We had two great comedy writers, Laura Hudson and Tim Moran, a cast of talented actors, including singer/actress Saycon Sengbloh, and D.P., Benjamin Relf. The result... a story about a disbarred old-fashioned "singing lawyer" who finds an unlikely friendship with a mysterious woman, and together they sing "justice" on the streets of New York City. Now, you can watch the film online and learn that "you don't have to be a lawyer to lay down the law."

Our documentary series, Under the Bridges, is now a fiscally sponsored project! Through Fractured Atlas, we can now accept donations and non-monetary contributions that are tax deductible!

In other news, One Glass Productions is gearing up for the next 48 Hour Film Project. On Friday June 21st, we'll be given our elements and we'll make a short film within the subsequent 48 Hours. We're working on building a really great team this year, so let us know if you'd like to be involved -- we're still looking for extras/small part actors, and a set/costume designer. I have a feeling this is going to be he best year yet!
