The Life and Death of Nicholas Cage

This past Saturday the boys woke up at 6 a.m. to take part in the Apple Education Insomnia Film Festival. There were upwards of 2000 highschool and college student applicants pre-registered...although we do not yet know how many actually uploaded finished projects when all was said and done. Filmmakers were given a list of elements and instructed to incorporate 3:

wardrobe: tuxedo
prop: a birdcage
setting: park bench
camera angle: dutch angle
character name: Robin Dejeerling
narrative device: dream sequence
edit: match cut
make up: old man
SFX: static
dialogue: "Don't tempt me."

They had 24 hours to come up with a concept...shoot, score, and edit a three minute short. By 6 a.m. Sunday morning...they had accomplished what they had set out to do....were bleary eyed and not entirely convinced that they weren't completely nutso.

Nutso parents. Nutso kids. What can I say?
