Tanner Makes His First Movie

Last weekend Tanner ventured into the world of film production. He and a friend decided to enter a film festival through their school a couple of weeks ago. The rules of the festival were, 1) no more than 24 hours to make the film 2) use a bell for a prop 3) have the "All people want is someone to listen" somewhere in the film. #2 and #3 were provided on Friday afternoon. Of course being kids, communication was not crisp and they did not get together until 4 hours before the film was due on Saturday night. Fortunately, Tanner's friend Zach had already worked out a good script and when Tanner arrived at his house they only had to make minor adjustments. Filming started around 2:30 and just after 4:30 they had finished editing the film on the computer and were ready for production. At the time I thought it was a pretty good effort for their first try and short time constraints, and I was right. They ended up getting 2nd place in their category (grades 5-6) and even won 200 RMB for their efforts. Tanner's Uncle Dave would be proud!
