2 down 298 to go OR I expect it to take about 5 years to complete all 6 of the 50 short films series
Dimensional Portal, short film # 1 in the 50 Short Films About America series, is done. Also Rock Collection, short film # 1 in the 50 Short Films About Kensington series, is shot & is awaiting some titles in order to be complete. So, 2 down basically, and 298 to go; there are 6 series of short films planned with 50 films per series (find out more about this project here) totaling 300 short films in all. I expect the entire project to take about 5 years (it could happen a lot faster, but let's just say 5 years for now) or until the end of 2012 to complete.
I am digging this gigantic short films project because some shorts can be made literally for $0 (or you can spend some money on them & make them extra fancy) and you are able to explore new things, try new (or at least new-to-you) filmmaking approaches through shorts (not a lot of money tied in shorts, also they are not as "serious" as features, as far as your overall filmmaking resume is concerned - thus more room to play & have fun). These shorts projects are a side project, something for me to do - filmmaking wise - while I get features made & out (or wait for a big chunk of free time in order to finish a feature DVD project, as is the case this week).
I expect to have the two completed shorts up on YouTube & posted here at this blog before this week is over (before Sun, perhaps for some Sun morning web shorts watching event for ya :).
