fly filmmaking challenge [siff] June 14, 2006

This year's Fly Filmmaking Challenge paired local directors with Pacific Northwest screenwriters to bring a combined vision to the big screen! Filmmakers selected their projects from five screenwriting finalists at the February Screenwriters Salon event, and in a last minute twist, one filmmaker opted to do a documentary, and we are pleased to premiere three narrative shorts and one documentary this year.

All four films were made "on the fly" -- five days to shoot, five days to edit for a total of ten minutes of screen time – and as always we create the "flies in the ointment." A rare opportunity to see how the Fly Films evolve from pitch to premiere.
