48 Hour Film contest coming to Jacksonville

Here's a link to "Belong's" webpage.

Just fantastic images of the entire production and how it all unfolded.  This has been one of the best experience I have had in a long time since my days during high school when I participated as an extra during the Production of Black Sunday at the Orange Bowl and later back ground scenes during Miami Vice, especially when they came to my Florida International University during the basket ball game scene! 

I was very impressed of the Professional manner from the entire NFOCUS team who maintained themselves calm and dedicated during this pressure cooker to produce a most wonderful film in so little time.  I will not forget everyone walking tirelessly back and forth to/from that Large RED Chevy 3500 series Van to get this or that ... made me feel really exhausted just by looking!

My congrats to all who worked tirelessly behind the scenes and all the editing!

Sincerely,
Carlos

I viewed the A group films last night. Good stuff. I love the Indie films. I was quite suprised by the turnout at the viewing. A packed house was great to see.

Our film was the third to last in Group B. I was disappointed that a few of our scenes were darker on screen than anticipated. But the film seemed to be well received by the audience. It was great to see so many people bust their butts this weekend and then get to see the results on screen. Seeing Jacksonville on screen was nice too. Hopefully this becomes a yearly thing here.

pretty powerful stuff. The cinematography was my favorite part of it, also the music made the transitional scenes, going across the bridge and such have much more emotion.

Acting was pretty good too.
