I was recently told that I'll be given an Octodrive to give away. I've decided that the fairest way for me to make this an international competition (in my twisted brain) is to conduct a 24 hour film festival!
For those of you who don't know what a 24 hour film festival is, it's fairly self explanatory. You will have 24 hours from a given start time (8am Pacific time on Saturday June 20th!) to write, shoot, and edit a short film. The non self explanatory rules are that you will be given a prompt for the film via my twitter (twitter.com/meganthompson). You will also have an assortment of film themes to choose from which will be given at the end of this blog entry. Another requirement will be that you have to include lines in your script that have come directly from Mark Hoppus, Pete Wentz, and my Twitter. At the end of your film please let us know what lines were from our twitters, and the date we posted them, as it might not be obvious. I'll be checking, so no fudging!

Here is a good example from a friend's 3 hour film festival.



You have quite a bit more creative freedom than most 24 hour film festivals. So get ready and have a lot of fun with it!
