Those Who Dig 2016
Those Who Dig was written and shot in 48 hours.
This was a 48 hour film challenge that was done for fun.
The post production process took longer than expected, and was accompanied with some technical issues.
So, we were not able to complete the entire film by the deadline. We did have a cut by the 48 hour mark, but we couldn't get it to export.
But, we did finish.
The challenge started at 10:07 p.m. on Friday, January 29th.
The film was finished at 10:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 11th.
