Co-Director and festival MC, Andrew Ellis, has been there since the beginning, and Co-Director Josie Pusl has been there since its second year. Technical Director Jake Kuwana, Creative Director Jason Jacobsen, and Web Designer Ben Hamill round out the i48 leadership team, which, despite the logistical challenges of a pandemic that\u2019s stretched across two years\u2019 worth of events, guided participants through the competition and put on show for audience members that went off without the hint of a glitch.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The i48 Competition and Film Festival is i48\u2019s flagship event and was designed to be family-friendly. In response to requests by some filmmakers for more latitude, h48 was added. The <i>h<\/i> is for horror and this event happens, appropriately, during October each year. If comedy or crime are what you\u2019re looking for, the February Challenge and \u201c13 Stories\u201d are part of their normal yearly lineup.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u><b>The Challenge and Challenges<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n<p>According to their website, \u201ci48 Film Competition and Festival is a competition where teams of filmmakers from around Idaho have 48 hours to write, pre-produce, cast, shoot, and edit, an original short film three to six minutes long.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Teams receive and are allowed to open their packets at the same time. Normally this happens at an in-person kick off event, but teams received packets via email this year. Packets include instructions such as an assigned genre, a prop that must be used, and a character name and a line of dialog that must be incorporated. Films may have scores, but teams cannot violate copyright so must have express permission to use any music and lyrics or produce an original piece for their film. Teams can have as many members as they wish but must have at least two. More teammates to share the load sounds good, but multi-year participant Elizabeth Findley noted that the more team members, the harder production can be. Others noted that even when a team leader has prepared as much as they can by inviting other team members to participate, invariably people drop off, leaving gaps and creating logistical challenges.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4723\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4723\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4723 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/i48_Tate-KodyCollab-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4723\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tate-Kody Collaboration&#8211;from left to right): actor Tate McCullough and writer\/director Kody Newton of &#8220;Battery&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Under such constraints, a strategic approach pays off. Experienced writer, director, and cinematographer Kody Newton wanted to reduce the time required to edit his team\u2019s film \u201cBattery,\u201d so he opted for a single camera, one shot take. Other teams, including Monkey Fu Films and Flying Fedora Film, also took a single location approach. Danika Starrharrt acted in and composed an original score for the silent film \u201cLyon\u2019s Cage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Inclement weather also came into play, but several teams used it to their advantage. The rain enhanced the mood during a pivotal scene for team Sleepless\u2019s \u201cBack to Boise\u201d for example.<\/p>\n<p>Challenges such as i48\u2019s 48-hour limit and requirements to work within surprise creative constraints test filmmaking team\u2019s creativity, efficiency, and cohesion. Surprising few who know about the competition\u2019s long history, the results can be exceptionally good in both the novice and open divisions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u><b>The Filmmakers\u2019 Experience<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Motivations for participating in i48 vary says screenwriter and costume designer Heather Horner. Some participants just want to have fun while others compete to test their skills. Actor David Kociol agrees. Fun was what drew him to participate the first time, but he came back for a second year hoping to get good footage for his actor demo reel. Scott Beals keeps coming back for the fun and professional challenge. Since his first appearance in an i48 film, Beals has gone on to secure a paid part in a feature-length film. Film editor Elizabeth Findley, like David Kocoil, will use her team\u2019s short film to demonstrate her skills to prospective clients.<\/p>\n<p>Co-Director Josie Pusl says that this event provides another important benefit: \u201cNetworking. It is a great\u00a0opportunity for filmmakers to meet each other and see what others are doing. There have been quite a few collaborations on other projects that have come from i48.\u201d This sentiment was echoed by others and evident when interacting with participants during breaks between showings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4722\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4722\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4722 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/i48_MoonTeamCropped-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"i48 Film Festival Moon Team\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4722\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Moon is Made of Green Cheese Team&#8211;Team Flying Fedora Film from left to right): Tate McCullough, Heather Horner, Kelsey Wilson, Rachel LeMar, Laura Mason, Matt Edwards, Brandon Freemon, MJ Freemon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Experienced actor and producer at Broken Noir Films Tate McCullough was part of the team that filmed \u201cThe Moon Was Made of Cheese\u201d but jumped in to help Kody Newton of Newton to Newton Productions when Kody needed another actor for his i48 film submission. Theirs was not the only cross-over. Heather Horner was on call to offer costume advice to several teams.<\/p>\n<p>Before they get to the fun of watching their work and mingling with fellow filmmakers, participants must submit to the grind. Exhaustion was a common theme in conversations about the 48-hour filmmaking process, and more than a few people said that this will likely be the last year they participate. However, many went on to admit that they say that every year. Most had the same glint in their eyes and coiled energy that creatives and competitors of all stripes possess.<\/p>\n<p>The reward is in the reaching. The product is almost secondary. Almost. Proof of effort and real satisfaction comes when the films are screened.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u><b>The Festival Experience<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s screenings were broken into 4 showings starting at 12:30 p.m. and ending around 8:00 p.m. Between screening blocks, participants mingled to chat about the films and filmmaking process and to enjoy the afterglow of the 48-hour sprint that is the competition experience. Audience members are welcome to join in the conversations and encouraged to engage in a sprint of their own\u2014staying for the entire event and taking in all films in one gulp.<\/p>\n<p>The experience for new filmmakers and audience members is the same, an opportunity to compare and contrast and learn about the filmmaking process in a way not often available to busy creatives and film buffs.<\/p>\n<p>In non-pandemic years, festival goers can opt to attend a screening limited to the \u201cbest of\u201d winners the day after all films are screened at The Flicks. In years past, this event has been held at the Egyptian Theatre also in downtown Boise. COVID protocols prevented that from happening this year.
