Top 5 Catford72hr Film Challenge.

September 17th, 2017

We made it into the Top 5 Finalist!

About three weeks ago, my very good friend Milda Rakauskaite, asked me if I would be interested in participating in a 72hr film challenge in Catford, London. As an actor and filmmaker, I quickly jumped to the opportunity and said yes, but to my surprise I never thought that the week prior to filming, would go by so much quicker than the actual 72hrs for the challenge.


The premise for this competition was to go and register for the challenge and upon registration, we would be given four elements at random that we would have to include into our film. These elements were; the tittle (Little Steps), the genre (Silent), a phrase or dialog (the only way is Catford) and a location within Catford (Catford Market).


After writing a short story about a day in a life of a young Hitman, we quickly realized how well the story served the elements given to us, and before we knew it we began filming on the lovely location of Hilly Fields Park, in Brockley. Take after take and we kept on going until nightfall, small break and back to set the next morning. All in all, it was an amazing experience and we wouldn’t have made it without a great team which consisted of my friend Milda and her talented daughter Saule, Kai Clear, our superb DP and editor and yours truly.

Here is the final edit of our film.


Enjoy.
