Cinemasports
"Cinemasports is the iron chef of filmmaking. Each cinemasports day starts with the announcement of 'ingredients.' Teams have 9 hours to complete a movie with those ingredients. Screening of finished movies starts on the 10th hour. For Example, can different teams make a 4 minute movie in 9Hrs that includes an onion, an English teacher, and a tattoo parlor? We explore how the same ingredients inspire different creative minds."
Though the name "cinemasports" harkens to things like Theater Sports, it is everso junkyardly in spirit and concept. Here, for example, is an example:
Include the following elements in the days movie:
1. Someone is approached by a stranger claiming to be a lost relative.
2. Someone peels an orange
3. A shot of a bare knee
4. Someone mentions hair transplants in conversation.
Which, in a junkyard sports parallel, might read:
Include the following elements in a game of soccer:
1. The Sunday Times
2. 13 assorted singleton socks
3. An alley
4. 14 players ranging in age from 3-47, one of whom is blind
It is, after all, all one game.
