Rapid i Movement Hits the Sidewalk and Goes Underground

Just got word that Rapid i film Sturgess Fillmore Presents... Atlanta! just got accepted into this year's Sidewalk Moving Picture Film Festival. My reply, via IM was Hot Damn!

Then it hit me. I should blog about this. Because there's also Tibbet's Trust from Scott Balzer that's screening at the Atlanta Underground Film Festival this weekend.

Rapid i was created before my tenure here at the festival began. But, it plays into two of my personal passions. Encouraging local filmmaking and having fun. And seeing these two Rapid i films live beyond there initial screenings is what we hope for most. Films aren't like poems that sit in a diary, stuck under a bed, locked with a key. They're meant to be seen. And if they're good, to be enjoyed. And these two films definitely qualify.

Atlanta Underground Film Festival Screenings for Tibbets' Trust:

Friday August 23 8 PM Local Short Films The Plaza Theater

Saturday August 24 7 PM Comedy Short Films The Plaza Theater

Dude's Day Sticks the Landing

We at the fest we're a local sponsor for this year's Atlanta portion of the 48 Hour Film Project. There were some great shorts from all three nights and one of the one's I enjoyed most walked way with the top prize. Dude's Day is a winner for one huge reason in my book, it's got an ending. Plenty of rapid filmmaking films are funny, but few know how to end. When you're under a 48 or 50--wink, wink--hour gun, the ending is the least of a team's worries. Hopefully you'll enjoy Dude's Day as much as I did.
