The screening went well. There was a minor technical issue that led to our film being screened at a quarter of the size of everyone else’s, which I personally thought added to the ramshackle nature of the thing, but doubtless Steve and Clive will be having words. Otherwise, it motored along like a bastard, we got some laughs at the jokes, and we made the shortlist (although not according to the 48 hour challenge webshite, thank you so much, Johnny Oddball!)

A real mixture of stuff was screened, from the professional to the resolutely amateur, but everything had something to recommend it, even if it was simply the verve and joy in hard and fast storytelling, or in some cases just sheer batshit craziness. It was fascinating to see how different crews rose to the challenge of making a three minute film. Some simply didn’t bother, as a few of the non-shortlisted films that got screened anyway were blatantly overlength.

However, the whole thing was enourmous fun. There was enough energy in the screening to light up the London Eye, and the atmosphere was just fantastic – buzzy, warm and supportive.

Would I do it again? Ask me again after I’ve had a decent amount of sleep…
