Hooray! Finally – here is the film that my improv troupe, JINX, contributed to the 48-Hour Film Fest, under the name River Run Films (don’t ask – our director, Sean, was feeling misty or Irish or something when he named us).
It’s too dark, and the sound’s a bit off in places, but I am so proud of the storytelling, and of my fellow JINXers – Sean was a terrific director (very collaborative, but decisive when necessary, and always calm), and Greg, Aparna and Jordan just cracked me up. It was our first time being at the helm of a film project (we’ve acted in other people’s stuff, but never driven the story or been in charge of the whole production), and we made it into the “Best of” screening, so we were pumped.
A bunch of other “Best of” films featured improv talent both in front of and behind the camera…see the roundup on the Washington Improv Theater website.

The best independent film in years! The Muralist
I loved the contrast between the slow, awkward politeness in the living room and the frantic panic in the kitchen. AND that cutting the wires was really which veins or arteries to cut across. Brilliant!
