48 Hour Film Fest

Time once again for a perennial favorite; the DC 48 hour film festival my friend Dave Shapanka, the renowned musician and channel one news anchor, is requesting the following assistance. See below for details


Hello, friend!
So, right now is the weekend of the 48-hour film project. If you've never heard of it, it's when dozens of groups of people in DC get assigned a genre of movie (and a few other things) on Friday, and have to show up on Sunday with a finished movie. it's all written, shot, and edited within 48 hours. We've done it for a few years now, and this year the genre we were given was Musical. So we're making a musical. Tomorrow. And you will be in it.
We're writing it all now, so I can't really say what it's about. But we do know that we will have a large-scale musical production number, featuring as many people as we can get. And that means you. You don't need to be able to sing, you don't need to be able to dance. All you need is the desire to have fun and be a little silly for a little while. And it helps if you can follow directions easily, since we'll have a buttload of people and not a whole lot of time to get it all done. We anticipate the whole thing should take about 2 hours. 90 minutes if you're real real good.
Does this interest you at all? Show up at Walter Pierce Park in Adams Morgan (intersection of Adams Mill Road and Ontario Place) at 1pm. We'll probably be shooting some stuff on benches over there, or may just have one person waiting for you, to tell you where exactly we'll be shooting. But i promise it'll be fun.
Please just meet us in the park. if you don't know where it is, go to google maps and search for "1890 adams mill road, washington, dc". the park is right there.
Also, if you have any musical theater-type regalia (batons, tap shoes, boas, berets...) feel free to bring plenty. and any sort of other props, feel free. it'll most likely be a street scene where random regular folks just decide to join in the big song and dance number.
I think that's all the important info. I've got to get to writing an entire musical in the next 8 hours, if you'll excuse me.
Hope to see you tomorrow! mucho mucho thanks in advance for any of you who can make it. and please tell your friends. all awesome people are welcome
Remember, saturday 5/5/07, 1:00pm, walter pierce park. and don't forget to bring your smile.
your friend,
Dave
