Description: This is the second movie Obnots made during pandemic times (and our eighteenth movie as a team), this round for the 48 Hour Film Project’s Global Film Competition. We got detective/cop as our genre, and the required elements were ‘a lightbulb’ as the prop, Roger/Rhonda Mulkey (judge) as the character, and the line of dialogue “What’s going on?” We competed with 11 other teams in Boston. We were “neck and neck” with another team to take the Boston title, but ended up as Runner-Up. We won the following awards; Best Use of Prop, Best Use of Genre, Best Lighting, Best Set Decoration, and “Dou-bulb Indemnity” Award for Best Dialogue. This is version 2 with a deleted scene added back in and a few other fixes.
Cast & Crew: B. Zeb Polly, Ben Guaraldi, Dabu, Eve Pogoda, J.M. Moss, Jen Buckingham, Joed Polly, Leslie Diamond, Nick ‘Fig’ Figueiredo, and Ray Carre.
