This short isn't perfect but it was made as part of Toronto's 48 hour film challenge. Basically the whole thing including all the editing and effects have to be done and in their hands in 48 hours no exceptions. I was on another team and this wasn't the best film but it was for sure the funniest. OK so there weren't many comedy entries but this was still super funny. As a Star Wars fan I really loved it. It is about a guy who tries to convince his girlfriend that they are living beside George Lucas even though it's just a nice guy who looks like George Lucas. I give it 6 out of 10 which is high marks considering that when you make something in 48 hours there will definitely be a lot of problems that otherwise wouldn't be there. Our film won a couple prizes and even it had some bad edits that were embarrassing to watch. Great job to the people who made this one and I hope you will shoot a full length version of it! There were a lot of great entries the last 2 years so if you're a film maker check out the competition on line!
