“Extraordinary Colleagues” tells two parallel tales - that of a comic book writer and her clueless editor, along with a glimpse into the larger-than-life “Sin City” style comic book they produce.
This was our entry for the Phoenix Film Foundation’s Summer 2010 48 Hour Film Challenge. The line of dialogue we had to include was “I am so hungry.” The required prop was a paintbrush. And we had a choice of 2 genres - action or romantic comedy. So we did both.
And yes, everything you see here was done in 48 hours, including all the animation and After Effects work!
The film won the following awards: Best Director, Best Overall Technical Elements, and 2nd Place Film
