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
