So here’s Crazy Love. This film was made during a 48 hour film competition I participated in years ago called Instant Films. It’s a really charming little movie, written by Jenelle Riley, and it turned out to be one of the best film experiences I’ve had.

Here is how the competition worked: She and a group of writers had 8 hours to write their scripts (from a Friday evening until the next morning). Then I and a group of directors were randomly paired with the scripts, and we literally chose our actors out of a hat. We then had 36 hours to return with a finished film.

I stumbled in with my master tape about 10 minutes before the deadline. An hour later I was sitting in a theater with about 300 people watching all the films. I was so tired I fell asleep.

But we ended up winning the competition, and the film went on to play at a couple festivals… it even garnered a Critics Pick at Palm Springs International Short Film Festival.

Anyway, if you haven’t already watched it… enjoy.
