MODS: I wasn't sure whether to start this here or in The Moving Picture section, so please feel free to put it where it needs to go (oh yeah, I know I'm opening myself up! 
)
About this time last year, I worked on a submission for the 24 Hour Video Race held by the Dallas Video Fest, one of the local film and/or video festivals held here annually. Teams of filmakers, both professional and amateur, create a finished short film from scratch within 24 hours. To make it interesting, the films have to be scripted using specific themes, content, and props to see how creative the teams can be.
Team Vladimir, the group I worked with, went with a WW2 theme since (I think) they were at the time trying to create a trailer on spec for an intended feature length project and had decided to incorporate the people, gear, and action vehicles they were assembling for it. I had answered the online casting call and showed up that morning to find that I had been cast as one of the principals, whom I shall only call "The Crazy Englishman."
It was a fun day, but I never heard anything more about the finished product, except that it had been one of the finalists in the contest. That is until this morning when, while doing research to update my resume, I found that the production company had posted the "Director's Cut" on YouTube.
So, without further ado, please click here and have a look at a story about the reminicences of an old veteran about the day in Northern Italy when he met that "crazy British guy."
Cheers!
