Overview

A Sato 48 film project "Inside" is a Phycological Thriller as a young man tries to remember what he did last night. The only thing he has are bits and pieces as he visits the warehouse in his memory in hopes he finds a clue as to what happened.

Challenges & Approach

When you are in Springfield, Missouri sometimes you just gotta stretch your creative itch. 48 hour film festivals are always a unique experience. With Sato 48 they give you key elements that have to be present within the project that you submit. For this project a few of the things will stand out, one being a few phrases in French and the other a key card and a few other things here and there. Other than that the creative team is free to take those elements and implement them into whatever narrative they feel, the only rule is, from conception to finalization all has to be done within the 48 hours. With "Inside" we really embraced the experimental nature of what was happening to our character. He can't seem to remember what happened last night and is almost in a state of amnesia, as he fights his internal truth and faces reality.

The result

We were fortunate enough to win best cinematography and best editing as well as several nominations. It was a really great project and team effort and we look forward our next creative trial.
