Very nice work (romance genre) from the Auckland 48 Hours 2008. Producers Adam Lound and Sarah Woodward, direction by Gareth Van Niekerk and Adam Lound. I haven’t seen the 2008 winner, it must be pretty spectacular to have beaten this effort. For those unfamiliar with the 48 Hours frenzy, it’s an opportunity for people in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch to lose a weekend – not in the usual sex’n'drugs’n'rock’n'roll kind of way – but in the create, create, create kind of way. It’s a time for people to stop talking about movies just long enough to DO IT. The results, from a critical perspective, are often highly variable; but are always highly valuable from learning and creative perspectives. Congrats to all who participated, it’s a huge effort. Thanks, Nich, for the nudge.
