2010 saw lots of films and short films getting made in Mobile Alabama; amateurs, professionals and everyone in between. The preponderance of Film Scrambles certainly helped – Film Scrambles are a competition for any skill level of filmmaker, wherein the filmmaker or team are given a very brief period -sometimes as little as 48 hours- to write, create and complete a short film, often based on specific criteria. These are just a few highlights of this year’s super bumper crop of local shorts…
(Please note, some of these films contain mature or immature content. Individual results may vary. Please pre-screen before showing them all to your sunday school class.)
