The 48 Hour Film Project - Albuquerque, NM - Group C

I attended the screening at the Kimo Theater for: The 48 Hour Film Project - Albuquerque, New Mexico - Group C - July 31, 2015

The Required Elements for every film included:
Character: Kelly Cartier, School Administrator
Prop: a tape measure
Line: "You only live once."

Waiting for the show.

What a lively, exciting crowd! In Albuquerque these days, film is where it's at!




Crowds on the sidewalk.


Preliminaries.


Finally met Facebook friend Jason Lobo Sedillo (in the hat), sitting with his team (he was key grip on one film).


To me, "Suavecita" was the best film in Group C: a simple, strong story, told well.


"Fantastic Force" was one of the best films - strong acting, particularly by the fellow playing the police captain!


Warrior Boxing.

One of the entries in Group C focused on a woman training at this facility. I was so surprised and spooked the building showed up in the Film Screening, after I had randomly seen it the day before, I voted for the film entry as among the Top 3 entries, even though there was another entry that was probably slightly-better quality.


Representatives of the film teams discuss strangest moments of their filming.


A satisfying evening at the Kimo.

On their Facebook page they have a list of "Best of 2015" films (determined after I visited them). Two of the films I voted for are on the list:
