Dancing Queens

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:
