Reply to 48 Hour film festival

I'm leaving tomorrow for the 48-hour film festival in Aberdeen, South Dakota. My cousin Derek is the one filming and editing mostly. He just spent $6,000 on a new camera and crane. We've got some music done by his brother we can use. I watched some of the winners from last year, they all completely sucked except for about 3 (there were 20 total), and 2 of those were from England. So I'm not much worried about competition.
How it works: The main producer (Derek, in this case) draws a genre (some of them are superhero, comedy, horror, musical/western...), and a prop, character, and line of dialogue that must be in it. You can't do anything for it until after you draw, then you have 48 hours to write, film, and edit. The only thing you can do beforehand is music.
The only team we think will be real competition is the Minneapolis team. The grand prize is a film editing suite worth about $10,000. I'll let you know how we do on Sunday night.
