When Keith and I set out to make 12 films in 12 weeks, we decided each film would be between three and five minutes long. By that standard, only one film succeeded – “A Summer’s Day.” Which I directed. And since the point of the whole project was to keep the films short – I win.

Sorry Keith. Better luck next summer.

Here are some numbers that sort of put the project in perspective. Played end to end, the films would take almost and hour and forty-five minutes. Not too bad for a summer.

So since you guys have a feature-length film to show for your efforts, when is the big public screening? Hopefully on a sheet hanging by the Gowanus Canal, BYOB, a 12Films12Weeks kind of vibe.
