the
ZIFF 36 Hour Film Experiment
AUGUST 14, 2006
Nine teams competed to complete a short in only 36 hours. They were be given three items that need to be included in their short, an object( a roll of toilet paper), a character's name(Oscar Justino), and a line of dialog("After all, We do it for the kids). With these items they then shot, and edited a short between 4 and 8 minutes long. We then showed these gems the next day.
