The Party: Making a 10 Minute Short


Running Time: 10 minutes 12 seconds

Writing a ten minute short is very demanding. How much story and exposition can you tell? With the ScreenLabs Challenge you are limited by the number of locations you can use (4), the number of characters (4) and the only thing you have to fall back on is your imagination and a great script (12 pages) or less. That is if you want to win.

The Party by Eric Maierson for MediaStorm is a quick little case study in how to make the most with one location and two characters and no money on the theme "unrequitted love." Check it out. Feel free to comment good or bad. Criticism makes better films.
