(Austin, TX) "No Record" by Invenio Productions won the Best Film
Prize in this year's 48 Hour Film Project in Austin. They were also presented
with Audience Favorite, Best Sound Design and Best Special Effects awards. The
48 Hour Film Project is the oldest and largest timed film competition in the
world. Teams receive a genre, character, prop and line of dialogue at 7PM on
a Friday night and must complete the film by Sunday at 7:30PM, with no exceptions.
Invenio Productions is an ambitious group of 80 volunteers who are passionate
about filmmaking. Among the largest to compete in the competition, Invenio Productions
challenge themselves to run a flexible and creative, yet professional set. "With
such a large team, we have to organize as much as possible. We start working
early to assign everyone a job within their skill-set, planning meals to keep
everyone happy and creating lines of communication," said Megan Edwards,
Production Manager. "There are always things we can improve on, but everyone
has such a great time, it's addicting. We are glad we won, but we can't wait
until the next film."
The production team gets their name from the Latin word which means to "come
upon, find and discover." "This is our approach to the creative process,"
said the Director, Scott Edwards. "We believe when we get a really good
idea, it's as if it was already there just waiting to be told, and we were the
ones who discovered it. We also hope that Invenio Productions is a way for us
to be discovered as filmmakers." When asked what's next for the team, Edwards
said, "People have responded so well to our story that we've started preparing
to make our first full-length film. We will be looking at Austin as a possible
location for shooting, and if all goes as planned, we should begin filming sometime
in 2012."
The 2011 competition was Invenio Productions' second year in the contest and
second year to win the Audience Favorite award. "No Record" will go
on to compete with other 48 Hour Films from around the world at Filmapalooza
in New Mexico. If it wins Filmapalooza, then it will go on to the Cannes Film
Festival in France.
