So check it. Friend from out in DC is part of the 48 Hour Film Project. The YouTube video above (Leon!) is part of that project and it’s really, really good. (For an in-house project I’m floored by the production values - the audio tracks and the slicing and dicing…certainly edited on a Mac, right?). And, yes, the acting is also very good. The most interesting aspect of this is the requirements that had to be met in making the short. Pretty odd - the requirements were:

Note, we had to make a musical, and we had to include the following elements: a character named Roosevelt Adams who was the president of something; a bracelet; and the line of dialogue, “That’s what I’m talkin’ about.”

The 48 Hour Film Project looks really neat and just a few clicks away and you’ll see that it’s coming to Austin. Kick ass!
