Last Day of Filming for Twitter 2wkfilm in Pittsburgh

Today is the day that filming ends in Pittsburgh for The Twitter 2wkfilm challenge.



"what started as a joke between a couple of filmmakers on Twitter turned into a challenge: make a feature-length film in two weeks. Yes, two weeks. And I know what you're thinking, that's an insane idea. True, but that's exactly why it's a great one.

You spend two weeks in hell making a film that no one expects to be any good at all. And if you can clear that hurdle and make something people actually want to see, you've got a film that you can say, "We made this in two weeks on a Twitter challenge". That's a pretty good promotional hook, don't you think? There's festivals that would love to show a film like that.

And if it's terrible? Oh well. I doubt anyone will hold that against us.

The rules (such as they are): feature-length (60+ min), have 2 weeks from start of filming to fine cut (but not final cut, so we can color correct and whatever before sending to festivals), and it must be done by the end of May."

Date with the Dentist

Yep, I went to San Francisco on March 1st, it was my first night there and out of the vending machine I purchased my downward spiral into tooth ache hell.
It was about the fourth cheesy pretzel nugget and I thought, "Hmm, there is something rather harder than normal in this particular bite, ah I think that might be my tooth." And, it was...a piece of the right upper molar,

Then, a month later, I was at a wedding at the doubletree in pittsburgh, and I put something else in my mouth, took a bite and the rest of the half of that particular tooth, plus the filling, cracked and fell out.

From Wedding ben and becky

Well, that was April 18th and this week around Wed. (May 14) it started hurting considerably, so Friday I went to see my dentist...he just sealed it with something and I made an appt. for June 10th to get a crown. As I was driving away, my tooth began thumping, so I called doc, he said try some advil, anyway, I just came back from the ER and I made an appt. for Monday at 10, the doc will come in earlier to fix my tooth.

Cinco de Mayo

We had a very nice Cinco de Mayo.
I just made tacos, but I made them from scratch, not the
tortillas, though.

I cut up onion and browned it and put a pound and an half of ground sirloin. I let that brown a little,
added about 4 tbsp. of chili powder, Mrs. Dash chipolte seasoning, salt, fresh ground multi colored pepper, and 2 minced cloves of garlic. I let it all cook on simmer while I…

cut up tomatoes, lettuce,yellow peppers, onion, openend up some fresh salsa from the store and good quality guacamole and sour cream to use as toppings for the tacos. I also had the large flour tortillas warming in the oven in tin foil.

Served everything with Ice Tea and threw in some white taco chips…..I can tell you we are all stuffed.
