So last night we were lucky and drunk enough to attend the finals of the Jameson Empire’s Done In 60 Second Short Film competition – where short film-makers from around the world compete to distill a Hollywood blockbuster into a 60 second gem. The finalists were announced, the whiskey flowed freely and Chris O’Dowd said “I cum lego” like four times; a great evening was had by all. But how does one go about creating a short-list worthy entry? We were determined to find out.
We were totally there and everything. ARE WE ACHIEVING YET, DAD?
Do you know what’s out next week? The 3D version of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, that’s what. We’re warily eyeing our invite to the screening and wondering how we could possibly get out of going. To keep us distracted from the inevitably disappointing experience, we’ve decided to get very drunk and mock George Lucas. So grab some Ewoks, a bucketful of booze and a novelty lightsaber-stirrer; things are about to get messy…
…and you’d be mad not to get involved.
Why doesn’t someone put Ricky Gervais in a silent film?
