Made in 62-hours, viewed in 10 minutes

The second annual London Fringe 62-Hour Film Contest has finished another year of fast-paced filmmaking and is currently awaiting the results of this year's contest.

This year, 14 filmmakers got their films back in time, said producer, Alison Challis.

The production teams spanned across the board in terms of experience, from amateur-filmmakers to performers, to those whose focus is on mixed media — all different ages from 18 years old to those in their 50s, said Challis.

The teams met on Friday, March 12 at the Morrissey House, where they learned the four secret elements that they were required to incorporate into their films moments before they had to rush out to film.

The secret elements involved a prop — which was a container of bubbles; a line of dialogue — “I'm a bear of little brain and big words bother me;” a downtown London location — any mural; and the overall concept which was “second chances.”

The films must be 10 minutes or less and are judged by a panel of five — Dwight Coughlin of CIVA Communications, Mike Knoll of the London Free Press, professor Janina Falkowska of the department of film studies at the University of Western Ontario and Lionel Morise of Clever Monkey Creative.

The short films are judged based on editing, script, cinematography, originality, creativity and sound.

The final results will be shown on Sunday, March 21 at the London Convention Centre Theatre at 300 York St. Audiences can see the screenings of all the films at 1 p.m. or wait until 7 p.m. to see those that won at the awards presentation.

The first place team receives $300 cash and the chance to win an additional $750 from the Producers Post after they complete a special project through their Pay It Forward Productions program.

Tickets for Sunday's events are $10 for either event, or $15 for a pass to both. Those interested in purchasing tickets can contact the Fringe office at 519-434-0606, go online at http://londonfringe.ca or get them at the door — cash only.
