72 Film Fest 2011

Wow…it sure has been a while.  Last we checked in, we had released the second episode of our Jay-Jay and Moonpie iPhone games.  Since then, we have been laying low, waiting like a cobra with all the intent to strike when the iron was hot.  Wait…that’s a blacksmith joke.  That analogy is away off.

Either way, I’m sure you (meaning one person) missed the fun-loving bunch at Missing Link Cinema.  Well, you’re in luck.  We have awesome news to impart.

One of the times of year that we will look forward to the most is when the 72 Film Fest rolls around.  For those of you not familiar, it is a contest where filmmakers are given 3 days, or 72 hours, to make a movie.  To even the playing field, so to speak, specific criteria is given during the start of the competition that must be included in your movie.  The theme this year was the “first frame, last frame” variety.  Very similar to what was done for the Canon Beyond the Still contest.  It’s definitely a unique, if not, novel idea.  It does give a lot of room for doing pretty much whatever you want.  With that much leeway, how can you not go wild, right?

The movie we made definitely pushed us in a new direction, yet, it still remains a Missing Link Cinema production.  You can see our style of pacing and editing in every single frame.  As always, we are proud of the work we created.  We hope that the audience and judges for the 72 Film Fest feel the same.  While we were very happy with the work we created last year, “Le Detective“, we failed to bring home any awards.  The competition was stiff.  There were a lot of great movies from the other teams.  We just hope that our effort this time around will bring us some accolades.  Cross your fingers for us.

We know we will.

So, before I run off again to my Batcave, I leave you with this still image from our movie.  Just a little something to whet your appetite.
