Saw a short subject, Sea of Trees, written, shot and produced within 48 Hours by Idyl King Entertainment. Intrigued is putting it mildly. Wrote Screenwriters William Dresden and Grayson Wolfe to congratulate them on such a splendid piece….

This last weekend I found myself driving, giddy as it were, to Newport News in what was becoming a blizzard to take part in their follow up entry into the 48 Hour Film Festival, and a possible exhibit at NAB – Chaz + Jones. It was well worth the drive. No spoiler alerts needed. Suffice to say, this pic is another well-written bit o’ dark comedy, drama, and a buddy movie to boot. I was not alone in laughing out loud when reading the script. Pamela Good, one of the area’s premiere actors was heard remarking she observed the makings of young Coen brothers. Quentin Tarantino was mentioned a bit as well. Influences notwithstanding, it was obvious there was a lot of talent flying around the set. The production team was loose & easy going to be around, yet tight & efficient to watch in action. Always fun to be creative – even more fun to do it in a collective. Thanks Idyl for a thoroughly enjoyable collaborative experience. Photos Courtesy Idyl King Entertainment

Okay, deciding to participate in the 48 Hour Film Festival might sound crazy enough, but deciding the project conceived, written, shot, edited, looped, and delivered is also going to be a musical – that’s insane! Welcome to the world of Richard Keel and company. Apparently he and co-writer James Shearer had already been suffering from sleep deprivation when they hatched this plot. But, as they say in the movies; “This idea might just be crazy enough to work!”

An insanely good time was had by all, and cast and crew had a Monsters’ Ball working with each other.

Hope all my best fiends, and ghoul-friends can come out to the Naro Cinema next Wednesday night at 7:00 to attend the screenings of all the short films, and vote for your favorites. It’ll be a blast and tickets are only $8.00 The winning team will go on to compete in the annual international competition. The Hampton Roads entries will all be screened Aug. 15 and the winning films will be announced and screened the following Saturday, Aug 18.
