About this production

Halloween 2009… I took part in one of the teams for DV Mission – a 48 hour film challenge that happens annually in Portsmouth. On the Friday night, all the teams meet and the genre, title and line of dialogue for the film are picked out of a hat, and we go away, furiously make a film, and enter it for Sunday night screening.

The genre was Weird Western, the title was The Golden 8, and the line of dialogue was ‘Oh well, nobody’s perfect’.

The team was called Lazy Nerd a culmination of Lazy Orange and Uber Nerd, myself, and our beautiful actors!

The script was written by Uber Nerd, it was filmed and edited by Lazy Orange, and was a co-directed effort by myself and Uber Nerd.

And wow, what a night we had at the screening. We picked up 3 awards:

Best Sound
Best Script
Best Pro-tech film

Massive thanks to everyone involved, it was such a team effort and it was so much fun to film. Looking forward to next year!
