48 Hour Film Takes Home Award

To Take a Chance was recognized for “Best Graphics” at this years 48 Hour Film Project in Richmond.

The illustrations, by Alan Canode, were integrated into the opening and closing credit sequences of the film, uniquely capturing elements of the story. Abandon Films competed with 32 other film crews at the festival, writing and producing a movie in 48 hours. There was some really excellent work showcased at the screening the following weekend. Virginia has some talented filmmakers!
