AGAINST THE CLOCK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The challenge was clear: write, shoot, edit, and submit a film in under 48 hours. Going over the limit by even a single second would have meant disqualification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The script was finished overnight, and the actors were still getting to know their characters minutes before the first take. Suspense had already begun offscreen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The frenzy of production still made room for the story\u2019s quieter side. Amid the chaos that sweeps through the film, one character \u2014 a writer \u2014 offers his thoughts in a poetic voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
