I am sorry to say that none of our Houston filmmakers were selected to for further consideration for the National Film Challenge...Maybe next time, guys!

 

The 2008 National Film Challenge, the 48 Hour Film Projects sister competition, had called on filmmakers all over the country to participate in a 3-day competition over the weekend of October 24th through October 27th, 2008. 

 If you recall C-47 Houston magazine's coverage of the Houston chapter of the 48 Hour Film Project, The National Film Challenge has the same premise - the filmmaker and team receives a character name,  prop and a line of dialogue which must be used and said in the film and a random film genre was given to the team that had to be made.

The Houston MetroPlex area had 5 entries to this years National Film Challenge they are:

David Morgan - Chaos Films - Houston

Gerald Morris Jr. - DiaboliCo Productions - Houston

Victor DiGiovanni - Irony Coast Productions - Humble

"I just dropped off my entry called "Back Story" to the National Film Challenge and posted the video on YouTube.  Casting includes: Bonnie Borst, (C-47 Houston magazine's November LimeLight actress), Marc Isaacs and Andrew Kontowski. The films genre was a "Road Movie" but we added music to make it a musical road trip movie about a chiropractor and his patient. We think it turned out really good.", Victor
