No Way Out is another 48Hour Film Project production.

This 2022 competitor won "Audience Award" aka "Fan Favorite". The team who produced this was a very robust and dedicated team and we are all very happy to have received such a gracious award after so many years of being away from theaters.  

No Way Out is about a young man who absent-mindedly makes a wish that inadvertently turns into a blood oath. After years of grief, he finds his way to freedom only to return to his fate exponentially.

This film was created, developed and finished in less than 48Hours total.

​The genre drawn was "Dark Comedy" and the required elements were

Prop - A Pillowcase

Character - A Real Estate Agent

Line of Dialogue - "Let's go back to the beginning"

Happy Birthday, Son was created for a "One-Minute Film" contest. It was slightly expanded in another format, but stays generally true to it's micro size punch.

This 2002 film was later submitted to the Austin Micro Film Festival, where it was nominated for "Best Relationship Drama Film"

The story is about an apparenlty estranged mother and child who have an awkward conversation when she brings him a gift and wishes him a happy birthday.. As the conversation unfolds, the silence between them says more than their words.

This film comes with a trigger warning. It may say, "Happy Birthday" but this is not a happy story.
