In the middle of the floor of director Zach Fox’s parents’ kitchen lay some fake blood, a real knife, and an avocado.
This was a crime scene, and the crime wasn’t only the murder of a helpless victim. It was also a crime against fashion.
Luckily, the fashion detectives were on the case. And soon, everybody would be watching them — as part of an annual competition to make a short movie in just two days.
The as-of-yet untitled short film was one of 26 that would be written, filmed, and edited over the course of one weekend, during the 48 Hour Film Project. In its 14th year in New Haven, the 48 Hour Film Project is an international competition open to amateur and professional creatives.
