Hard to Swallow... my first win!

[AJ Brooks]

Hey all,

Whoever has participated in a 48 hour film contest knows the stresses of making of film in that time crunch. This film was actually one of the most joyous experiences I've had. Partly because it is a mockumentary and you have to just wing it. But anyway...

This contest was sponsored by Equal Echange and it was between Boston, Seattle, and Portland. Contestants had to make a 3 minute film based off of Equal Exchange's mission statement (they are a fair trade organization, so organic food themed stuff)

And ours won Best Film!

It's a mockumentary about a town that has discovered the ultimate organic alternative.

Comments welcomed.

Thanks for the comments.

The absolute hardest part of this project was cutting it down to three minutes. There were a million more jokes that I couldn't fit in the 3 min time limit. It's tough to balance the storytelling with the jokes.

OMG, I didn't see that coming. "We eat a low Carb- Carbon" diet. LOL.
