What has been seen cannot be unseen.
For this year’s San Jose 48-Hour Film Project, filmmakers (and occasional podcast contributors) Drew Campbell and Jason Salazar wrote and directed this short, “Dance Dads.” When participating in this festival, filmmakers gather on a Friday evening, receive elements that must be in their film, and then script, shoot, and edit within 48 hours. Drew and Jason’s challenge this year:
- Character: Ed or Edwina Griesman, Dance Instructor
- Prop: A Paintbrush
- Required Line: “Can You Keep A Secret?”
This is what happened. Funny, inspired, entertaining, and I can’t shake the feeling — all too real.
“Dance Dads” is officially a production of Beyond Forever Studios (“Donovan and Simms“) and Digital Chicanery.
