2020
Laundry Day – Priscilla is on call for Doctor’s Without Boundaries thousands of miles from her partner John. They both miss each other terribly, but a new opportunity for connection arises when their washing machine learns a new trick.
Description: Due to pandemic reasons, there was a special ‘Stuck at Home 48 Hour Film Project’ challenge that team Obnots decided to give a whirl. The required genre was ‘fantasy’, the character ‘Priscilla, a doctor’ (we had to use one of our grandparents’ names + occupation), and the prop was a kitchen utensil. In addition to those, we also had to utilize the theme of ‘connecting’ and had a required action, which was ‘singing, fixing, or jumping’. If that wasn’t tricky enough, the Stuck at Home challenge required us to film in our houses and nowhere else (exterior shots okay). We ended up putting everyone to work, and recording at four houses in MA, one in NH, one in NY, one in NM, and one in CA. It may have been “Stuck at Home 48” but it took about 75 hours to get it finished (editing this puzzle took a while). This ended up being the first of three movies that Obnots made in 2020. This is version 2, with a lots of little fixes and about 13 seconds of stuff added back in.
