2 days to make a movie
We’ve gotten a couple of news releases in about Big Plume Productions, one of the participants in next week’s 48 Hour Film Project. (The local sponsor of the event is Reel Women.) If you have a team, why not send us some info, and we’ll post it here, too?
Meanwhile, here’s the info on Big Plume. New release No. 1:
Producer Angela Lee, assisted by Co-Producer Tara Felmly, have enlisted the aid of Austin Director Michael Morlan to pull out the big toys to assemble a gigantic 50-person crew for the upcoming “48 Hour Film Project” starting June 23rd.
The “48 Hour Film Project” is a world-wide competition in which assembled film crews produce a completed film in only two days.
Big Plume Productions is comprised of some of Austin’s finest film professionals as well as amateurs and embodies the spirit of Austin’s independent film community.
George Oldziey, accomplished composer/arranger whose scoring credits include “Kill Bill”, “Once Upon a Time in Mexico” and “Spy Kids 3D: Game Over” is one of the many talented crew members on this team slated to join in the 48 hours of fun.
Lavastudios will be lending expert sound engineers and their eleven room studio to assist in the finished short.
Big Plume Productions Team producer is Angela Lee (formerly Production Manager and responsible for short film acquisitions for HBO). Ms. Lee, an Austin filmmaker, is at the heart of the Austin independent film world as facilitator of FilmAustin, an elite communications forum for Austin Film Professionals
Grandmaster Wonik Yi, martial arts choreographer for Robert Rodriguez, is an honorary member of the Big Plume Productions Team. Grandmaster Wonik Yi is an 18th Generation Sword Warrior, World Martial Arts Champion, Founder of the World Tukong Moosul Federation, and Former Chief Commander for the Anti-Terrorist School in Korea. Its headquarters is in Austin, and its extension schools are all over the world.
More than 1000 filmmaking teams from around the world are competing this year.
And news release No. 2:
The University of Mary Hardin Baylor is lending a heavy assist to Austin’s Big Plume Productions Team for the 48 hour Film Project.
Included among the crew are several who have served UMHB in “Cru Film Productions”, a 2-year-old entity started when the school added a minor in Film Production. The “Cru” stands for crusader, the school mascot.
Some of these are: Morlan (Austin Film Tools and Gear Rentals) as director, Fembly, who heavily influenced the formation of the UMHB program as producer, and Step Rowe (Keene Studios) as scriptwriter.
In addition, Dr. Diane Howard, a world-renowned expert in distance communication, will function as base camp director and Donna Teel will serve as credit designer.
