This film was made entirely from scratch in 48 hours as part of the 2024 SATO48 Film Festival. We had just two days to write, shoot, and edit an original 5 minute film using the following "Inspiration Package":

-Create a unique contest combining a physical activity with a non-physical activity.
-At least 2 characters must participate in the contest.
-The contest must reveal a deeply held secret.
-The result of the contest must impact the winner negatively or the loser positively.

I'm so proud of what our team created in such a short amount of time! Last week at the SATO Awards Ceremony, we received the following recognitions:
