"The Decision", the film produced by the Monmouth Film Collective, my team in the Portland, Oregon 48 Hour Film Project, is now online. We drew "historical fiction" as our genre. The city elements were: character: Jake or Jane Gravenstein, wellness practitioner; line: "Okay, I think I got it straight"; and prop: jumper cables. We set our story in the 1930s and the Great Depression to give ourselves at least a chance of evoking another era. You can read more about the experience here.
The film is on YouTube and also on blip.tv in either Flash or Quicktime (the last will take longer to load, but offers the best quality).
