After working hard to put a film together in 48 hours, tonight was the night to see our film Saving Super along with 10 other teams' films on the big screen at Fleur Cinema. Our theater was sold out! After watching them all, I'd say three or four of them were pretty great, a handful were well done (including our's) and the rest, well, better luck next year.
It was awesome to see so many people support local talent, but it wasn't that surprising. In the three years I've lived here, I've seen this support time and time again: 80/35 concert, Des Moines Arts Festival, Farmers Market, etc. People in the metro really enjoy celebrating local artists, bands, food, restaurants, teams and events. I know I do.
The 48 Hour Film Project organizers should soon be revealing the top 12 films. There will be another screening for those films coming up in August. If I can, I'd love to be able to attend. Seeing the best of the best, will
