Graduate Producer 2nd time Wellington 48 Hours Winner
48hours filmmaking competition names Wellington winner. Last year’s winner takes it again!
This year’s winner of Wellington’s 48HOURS film competition was named on Wednesday night. Team Good Times, who previously made the horror short The Baby Farmer, won for the second year in a row. Producer Bonnie Slater and Director Sam Kelly were thrilled to defend their title in an exciting final of excellent films screened at the Embassy Theatre.
The 48HOURS filmmaking competition gives teams just 48 hours to make a film, from idea to completion. Each team are given a genre, a character, a line of dialogue, and a prop to include in their film. There were over 130 teams competing in Wellington this year. Judges include prominent filmmakers Jonathan King (Writer/Director of Black Sheep), Robert Sarkies (Writer/Director of Out of the Blue), and Vicky Pope (Producer).
Team Good Times were given Grindhouse (‘a 60’s or 70’s exploitation film’) as their genre and made a blaxploitation tribute film called Maori Detective and the Boogie Fever. The story features strippers, uncontrollable dancing, jive talking, and the coolest Maori Detective yet put to film.
Maori Detective and the Boogie Fever won Best Film, Best Script (David Brechin-Smith, Sam Kelly, Kelly Kilgour), Best Actor (Cohen Holloway), Best Actress (Darlene Mohekey), Best Cinematography (Mathew Knight), and Most Thrilling Moment. The Best Cinematography prize was a HD Panasonic camera valued at $10,000.
