...the finalist winner from Auckland won the Grand National Finals of the 48 hour film competition. I was pretty umimpressed with the quality displayed in the show last night. Perhaps TV is an unforgiving medium for the 48 hour films, but it seemed like some of the films we saw at the Wellington finals were higher quality than winners from other cities.
That being said I gave my vote to Mosgiel Tonight which was the Dunedin winner...Lee voted for Chip and Manny.
My problems with the winner (Fairly Good Tale) were that it was too much a copy of Princess Bride and the story wasn't very strong. The special effects were very slick though and they had some great actors, costumes and jokes. I don't know. It left me somewhat cold.
The presenters of the special show were pretty lacking too. Just...not very good...
Anyway, enough moaning. Lee is sick with my flu now and feeling very sorry for himself. I'm unreasonably hungry and craving tacos. I finished my jeans quilt last night (Huzzah! Huzzah! Five ducats for the King!) and will now begin to work on Rachel's one.
