San Jose 48 Hour Film Project 2009
August 18, 2009 | Filed Under News, Production Updates
Another year, another 48 Hour Film Project! That’s right, Beyond Forever Studios is at it again. This year, our requirements were:
Genre: Holiday Film
Character: Zach (or Zelda) Alexandar – an exterminator
Line of Dialogue: “Tell me again why this matters.”
Prop: Piece from a board game
We had 48 hours to write, direct, film, and edit our movie with little to no preparation. Our major location that we secured was taken away at the last moment before filming, so we had to scramble to find a new one. Talk about challenges! Overall, I’m very happy with how it turned out. Our movie is being screened on Thursday, August 20th at 7:00PM. Here are the details:
Date: Thursday, Aug 20
Time: 7:00pm (Group C)
Place: Camera 12 Cinemas, 201 South Second Street, San Jose, CA
Tickets: $10.00 (Purchase them here…)
Notes: Find online ticket sales under Special Events. Advanced ticket purchase is recommended in case of a sell out.
We’ll have the movie up on our site shortly! Hope to see you at the screening!

48 Hour Film Festival – Love Spread
August 19, 2007 | Filed Under News, Production Updates
The San Jose 48 Hour Film Festival has come and gone. This was actually the first festival to take place in San Jose, and since it’s much closer for us, Jason and I had to participate. We started the project on Friday, 8/10 and ended on Sunday, 8/12. I can’t tell you how much better it is not to have to drive back and forth to San Francisco. It’s like an hour each way! When we do the SF festival, we call it, “The 46 Hour Film Festival”.
So, we pulled Romance as our genre and had a blast making it. We actually finished relatively early on Sunday, and spent some time just waiting until the time we could turn it in. I think it turned out pretty cute. It’s a very simple concept yet it’s pretty fun. I just love this picture I took of Angie and Tom during the filming of one of our montage scenes.
The movie was shown on the following Thursday in downtown San Jose, and the response was fantastic. We were very, pleasantly surprised. We will find out tomorrow night whether our film won any awards. In the meantime, you can make up your own mind by watching the movie by clicking on Tom’s face below:
