Shades of Truth, 48 Hour Film Project, First City Films Savannah, GA

How exciting this weekend was. I was costume designer for my first film. I participated in the 48 Hour Film Project, 2010 with First City Films in Savannah. The film is titled “Shades of Truth” and screening is July 14th and 15th at the Victory Stadium Theater in Savannah, GA. The winners of this world wide competition will go to Cannes Film Festival.

Not only was this my first film it was a competition and we had very little time to bring the final project together. I'm not normally a competitive type person but I am a stress junkie. And stress is exactly what I received. Though by 2:00 day of filming I was a bit of a zombie due to lack of sleep.. One mistake I made was not having a costume/wardrobe team. I will not make that mistake again – if you choose to do this make sure you have at least one helper.

I really enjoyed my experience. The people with First City Films and the crew they enlisted were all very wonderful people. Not a diva among them. I would choose to work with any and all of them again.
