la Salle de Jeux

Two tortured souls spend a leisurely afternoon lamenting life, cheese and their mere existence unaware of the imminent danger of their predicament.

This film was shot for the 48HourFilm.com competition, August 6-8, 2010. Each film in the competition had to include a prop (a photo of mom), a line of dialog ("What's that smell?") and a character (Michael or Maggie Charles, Scientist ). In addition, each team picked a film genre from a hat. We originally drew "Silent Film." However, we drew the same genre back in 2006 and didn't want to go that route again. So we traded it in for a "wildcard" genre and drew "Foreign Film."
