Fuel for 48-hour film frenzy

There was no room in today’s Trib for my advance story about the Oakland-based film crew — Step 6 Productions – competing in the 48-Hour Film Project. Look for the article tomorrow, unless space restrictions or breaking news bump it again. That said, Ericka Obenar, one of the crew’s filmmakers and an Old Oakland resident, said other teams are playing dirty by flagging Craig’s List posts canvassing for crew, cast and other logistics. So Obener is putting out the word that FOOD is particularly needed. That probably goes for the other 57 teams involved in the competition.
If you want to get involved, visit the Web site www.andactionproductions.net. Contact info is there.

Scouting 48 hours in O-Town

The 48 Hour Film Project is a national contest that takes place over a weekend. During that weekend a team of filmmakers will make a movie—write, shoot, edit and score it—in just 48 hours. In 2007, some 30,000 filmmakers made films in 55 cities around the world.
We are looking for locations that we can film in, such as restaurants, bars, large homes, stores, yachts (?!?), or other locations. Our small professional crew will be filming from the early morning of the 19th through to the early morning of the 20th.
Visit http://www.48hourfilm.com to find out more about the 48 Hour Film project.
For questions, locations or to volunteer, e-mail erickafilm@yahoo or call (415) 637-7469.
