amulMoviebonics - http://films.thelot.com/films/10264
Cherry Tree -http://films.thelot.com/films/18730
Both are 5 minutes long, and made by a team of filmmakers well worth keeping an eye on. Thorn Chain helped with the makeup on Cherry Tree, and apparently has a cameo, although I can't find it. Moviebonics was originally a 7 minute short, which was edited down for The Lot, and is unfortunately missing my favorite bit, the quotes spoken over the credits which include "Houston, we have a problem."
The Cherry Tree is particularly awesome, while Moviebonics is pretty funny.
More about the show they submitted to…
ON THE LOT, executive-produced by Mark Burnett and Steven Spielberg,
will give aspiring filmmakers from around the world the chance to earn
a $1-million development deal at DreamWorks.
Airing next spring on FOX, this unscripted series will feature a cast
of 16 undiscovered filmmakers who will compete to win the support of
the show's viewers, as their fate will be decided by a weekly audience
vote.
The competition will air over two nights weekly, with a one-hour "Film
Premiere" episode, followed the next night by a half-hour "Box Office"
results show.
After a global search, applicants will be winnowed to a group of 16
talented filmmakers. These finalists will be brought to Hollywood,
where they will be divided into teams and begin the journey toward
their "big break."
Every week, the hopeful filmmakers will produce short films from a
chosen genre, running the gamut from comedies to thrillers, personal
dramas to romance, sci-fi to horror. They'll have access to the best
resources the industry has to offer -- professional writers, cast and
crew, and maybe even Hollywood celebrities.
After the teams have battled time frames, budgets and all the usual
chaos that goes along with filmmaking, their films will debut and be
critiqued in front of a live audience during the "Film Premiere"
episode. Judges will include a high-ranking motion picture executive,
a prominent film critic and a succession of well-respected guests,
such as directors who are experts in the week's featured genre. But
the filmmakers ultimately will be judged by the harshest critics of
all … the public.
It will be FOX viewers whose votes determine which film should be left
on the cutting-room floor. On the next night's "Box Office" results
show, the director whose feature garners the fewest votes will be sent
home.
The competition continues and directors are eliminated until only the
most talented filmmaker is anointed the winner and heads to DreamWorks
… ON THE LOT.
