Last weekend, we kicked off our annual 48-Hour Film Slam, where local filmmakers and movie aficionados created 6 short films under the theme: "The Year is 1999." Films included a kids’ parody of Fight Club (“Bite Club”), a police-procedural spoof (“Law and Order: Food Crimes Unit”), an ensemble-cast soap opera (“Hackers”), and much more.
