Cost of Reform
We shot this for another 48-hour film competition – the Seattle True Independent Film Festival (STIFF).  Again, we had only 48 hours to make this film.  We were given a character to be used in our film (a politician named P. Flowers), a line of dialog (“More like 28, right guys?”), a prop (pocket change) and a genre (drama).  Comedy is our strength, so drama was going to test our skills, but I think we came up with a nice piece.  The winner for this was chosen by audience vote.  We didn’t win here, but we had a strong showing.  (I co-wrote this movie and was cast as Secret Service Agent #1.  Lorilee had some creative input and did a great job checking for continuity, since the scenes are not filmed in sequence.  And we both got a chance to “run sound” and be “grips” during our shoot.)
