minute movies in seventy two hours let's get on the red carpet and talk to some of the filmmakers were here with danny from f a just t v they made a period piece for the flash film festival let's hear a little more about it so let me hear about how you made your video i resources so technically we only made this in like twenty four hours oh my goodness that's amazing well i can't wait to see the film now what kind of characters how did you incorporate that prop in that dialogue that everyone needed to incorporate make her character  well that sounds great i'm so excited to see the film thank you for your time looking into the cinema we have the sharpshooters team here on the red carpet let's talk to him again and part meta hi ladies very well thank you let's talk about your involvement with the film festival i know you've been doing it since the very beginning i have actually the very first film festival i was doing your job that's all he's like interviewing people on the red carpet and i actually think for two years and then the last two years i've been the emcee what's your favorite part about it do you ever have some favorite films oh definitely definitely and it's funny it's like i obviously don't vote but you know it's like you are  you know your favorite films and but it's just it's so nice to be able to acknowledge people for participating and taking on a challenge like this and being able to shoot to write shoot and edit a film in seventy two hours it's amazing i think it really is it's quite a challenge and i'm excited to see those amateur film festivals we have this year thanks susie thank you we're here with ben from paris also films he's a old film festival winner but he's decided to be a sponsor this year hi how are you today so as i said you've won this film festival three times is that correct that is that is correct two thousand and eleven twelve and last year for those how does it feel to be on the other side judging it actually feels great you know i think that after a certain point i was sort of like i should step aside and sort of give back and i really like sort of getting to see what everyone has has come up with and you of course give a scholarship to one of our high school teams how was it to judge between those three teams i was actually really hard you know they're both there they were all new filmmakers so we're kind of looking at it from the perspective of folks that are just starting out and so we're looking at it i decided that i wanted to dream and to create and to inspire other filters and this seemed to be the perfect opportunity to do so so it was really really great i'm definitely inspired thank you so much for your time and thank you for being a sponsor this year thank you very much now that we've heard from some of the filmmakers let's get into the cinema and take a look at the movie is welcome to the fifth massachusetts splash film festival think you have become a very  produce and deliver a found within seventy two hours i think that's just so and each of the films are forty seven minutes long and to make the  competition a little more challenging we've added in a few elements that were required of each scene to incorporate into their films the required elements this year were a character named chris or a christina granger who happens to be a nerd a pop of a broomstick and a line of dialogue which was why is it always  and each team was assigned a genre that their film had to fit within so i want you to remember in there in you're listed in your program but i want you to remember those three elements because you will be voting for a viewer's choice award for the film that you fill deserves to win so make sure that you pay attention and notice those three elements when you watch you each of the films so i want to just and now it's the sixteen's that are participating in this year's film festival first we have f a k f h s t v you guys want to stand up romantic comedy and the name of their film is number thirty two in last but not least is sharpshooters do we have representatives from sharp participated and we're really proud of you guys for doing this for coming together and taking the time to to take on a challenge like this and it's just a wonderful way for anyone interested in film whether you're an amateur or a burgeoning professional to get involved in you know put your talent out there so enjoy the film have two gentlemen who will be assisting us in collecting your ballots at the u n for viewers choice materials and your nose and you hear you guys come down this frame for a minute so everyone can with britney oh ok not good but i did learn something i need judas priest tickets the only thing is that they're sold out i think i know a guy who anybody but since i don't like to cheat people out here's what i don't have money fluffy the wonder dog after five short episodes the mighty canine who took on so many powerful evil doers was herself done in by studio executives with so many superpowered beings dominating the big and small fans i've been a fluffer that's what we call ourselves ever since issue one way back in two thousand and ten when that comic book was genius and it changed my life when it became a t v show i can't believe they took it off the air i just want fluffy to fly in there and zaf those guys question answered sought out the production team and crew only to find many were on reachable or had provided false information we were however able to track down the man closest to fluffy herself the second assistant dog wrangler our to do temper may have been just one symptom of the pressures that come with trying to translate a successful comic book into a lot of action t v show well i'm i'm sure it was tough for them to make it a t v show  to be honest they didn't always do the best job translating the villains in particular comes to mind to learn more about the challenges we talk to a comic book expert actually the comic book itself wasn't very good i only sold one copy i mean the show itself was terrible awful writing awful villains they tried to save it by introducing the knights of that table and their fluffy was the best show ever and it seems like every time i find a show that i love it gets canceled why is it always me that doesn't get what she wants bring back fluffy bring back fluffy bring back love to do that we have to answer our first question kill fluffy the one our investigation has shown it wasn't of who it was a lot and it is a little thing called common sense a terrible concept horribly transformed into an even more terrible show it never should have been made in the first place and it died a merciful quick death and the crew orphan kids outcasts mostly on the street that's me the leader met then there's our ladies it's going to keep going this way but if i keep seeing him or really want you to meet him soon he's really great i just don't know what they got the best couple ever i said it's not such a good idea but please really just leave it  have a lot to cover impossible i don't i don't know how but it is he's very very unstable but if we can get someone to be with him he'll pay us and you know we have a therapist's office your sister yes but we also have a bunch of unstable individuals we like to call he should wait a little bit on that little bit yes an extremely but it doesn't matter when you would be kicked out of your home right holy sand out of my toes after a long walks on the beach and yes so now i will have a brief question and what was what was his name again not that lo urgent meeting don't know what i'm going to do with you and to go until you realize that it's not only the trust but thinking on your feet and taking that is in your own hands and not takes time and experience with all due respect stage it was i'll never have the experience you talk of the phone unable to take opportunities in front of me i'm just warning you it's quite a dangerous play you've got i'm just doing my job and there you have it are six amazing films again thank you all for participating for showing up the phone or we announce the winner of the film festival i'd like to bring out vincent morey alley the founder of paris salsas films and at three time award winner at the mass last film festival and vincent has a wonderful announcement for us peristalsis films has very generously offered a scholarship and he's going film festival in one previously and what i want to do this year is offer a scholarship to emerging filmmakers part of paracelsus films mission is actually to help support the artistic creativity of local filmmakers and artists and we all beg somewhere and we all have passion for telling stories the flash film festival has is really great quote by james cameron up on their website which says pick up a camera shoot something no matter how small no matter how cheesy no matter whether your friends or your friends and your sister star in it just put your name on it as director now you are director i'm going to take that one step further today and i'm going to say scream it at a film festival and now you're a filmmaker and crime syndicates and they all managed to tell their stories like everyone else here they did it within seventy two hours but they did it with whatever equipment was on hand and that's important thing to remember because just because you don't have the best equipment the most expensive camera or the best computer with all the software that doesn't matter to be a filmmaker you just need to tell a really good story so when it came to deciding how to judge the scholarship my first thought was well who might actually judge anyone else's filmmaking i'm sure like i said i've won a few times here and i do have a web series called staying in boston that was recently in new york l a and miami but i'm like you guys thank you i'm like you guys i just like to make movies with my friends for fun like everybody else here and i think what i said earlier was that the great thing about these festivals and festivals like the massachusetts flash film festival is that it gets your film seen by an audience so the question is who watched your films who was judging the teams that were eligible for this specific scholarship well your films were seen not only by myself but they were seen by an award winning film director an award winning theatre producer a professor of arts and media at montserrat college and an award winning producer and casting director out in l a so win or lose you guys are all filmmakers now and you should be very proud of that all right i'm going to cut to the chase here so we have three films to choose from but only one team leader could win the eligible teams for the paracelsus films emergent filmmaker scholarship were nobody reads for the number thirty two f h s t v for love in the eighty's and sharpshooters for masterminds and one other word can only go to one team leader each team eligible will receive an on follow up with the thoughts and encouragement of your colleagues it's up to you if you want to read that because that could be scary but we want to along your way in your journey and all three films were very promising unfortunately only one can win so without further ado i'm happy to present the two thousand and fifteen paracelsus films emergent filmmakers scholarship to the team leader of a film that reminded me of my love life full of corky characters dating woes and just enough eighty's outfits to make it completely awesome so congratulations to demi perry in  thank you so much vincent that's very generous and what a wonderful opportunity before and now it's the winner of the festival i'd like to acknowledge and thank our two judges vincent  was one of our wonderful judges as well as jay fed again another award winning filmmaker ok so now i know for the winner of the massachusetts  is cool we actually entered this as sort of a lay experience because we were in the t v class at our school and i teachers actually were competed against us here and i'm really excited oh unfortunately the rest of our team can make it today but they're all going to be super excited when we told them on monday and i just i can't wait it's going to be great thank you so much wonderful also hopefully everyone filled out and passed in your your vote for our viewers choice that will be announced at the media center we have a reception following this so i hope you film everybody in the theater i hope voted for three of their top three favorite films as an audio audience choice i have the winner that audience choice this year so we're taking home twenty nine votes from the audience it's number thirty two but nobody reads as our a surprise it was just fantastic and i know you were inspired by your film class is that right your t v class in high school yeah our t v teacher actually came into the class and he's just so there is a and  that right so we chose the eighty's one because it was very easy to do with caution is very accessible to us and it's just a very whimsical and fun time so we thought it would be a great fit for us that's wonderful it was definitely a lot of fun and i can see you even had a lot of fun getting into character as well thank you ladies congratulations again
