In 2005, two teams of artists and filmmakers faced off and did what was never done before — they made 24 short movies in one year.
Briefly, the project worked like this: In January '05, Baltimore gave Philly a challenge, make a movie under five minutes in one week. It must contain 1) a bird sound, 2) someone introducing themself more than once and 3) orange juice. Baltimore also accepted the challenge and the project was off to a great start one week later. Use the weeks above to view the movies and the requirements that brought them to life.

PHILLY

Headed up by Matt Sutter and Peter Dalkner, Team Philly is a small group of graphic designers and animators living in South Philly. With very limited equipment and equally limited film experience, their movies are low budgeted and strange.

They kicked off the contest back in January with International Language and no one will ever forget it.

BALTIMORE

Baltimore's RedstarKGB was formed in the late part of 2004. Composed of it's founding members, Chris Harring, Ian Corey, Joel Haddock and Matthew Allthetime. Their work has been lauded at multiple CAmm Slamms and 48Hour Film Contests.

RedstarKGB is in pre-production for their first feature film to be completed Fall, 2005.
