Unhand those sexy items
The Auckland final of the 48Hours film competition was on Thursday, and it was a brilliant evening.

Fractured Radius didn't make it into the finals this year, but that doesn't matter cos that's not what we're there for, man. So was just able to enjoy a selection of 12 of the best films from Auckland teams.

The winner, Camp Fear by Mukpuddy, was a really well done animation about two monsters at a camp. When they accepted their award, one of the Mukpuddy dudes gave a shout out to James, Faith and me for the reviews we'd done on the 48Hours forums. This was such a nice feeling - all that sleep deprivation, Civic numb-bum and having to sit through the less than awesome films in the heats was worth it.

But if you want to see Fractured Radius' film "The Big Job", here 'tis. I get blown up in it, which was a rather freaky experienced to endure on set, if you know what I mean.



I also highly recommend Gun Man by team Bald Faced Cheek. They have a similar sense of humour as fRad, and this year paid special tribute to fRad by using our catchphrase, "shit my balls". I especially recommend this film if, like me, you are hot 4 Yorkshire accents.

I like 48Hours, and being able to spend a few months a year embracing my film geekness.

It's meant to be like that. fRad doesn't do subtle.

Dylan's been threatening to put Big Harry in our films ever since he was born. When it played at the heat, there was a big "Awwwww!" from the audience.

I suspect from now on he'll be a regular part of the fRad team!

Thank you!

When that was being filmed, I was holding the boom and had to look away so I didn't laugh and drop the boom. Ryan, the security guard, ended up with a bleeding lip from biting it so he didn't laugh.

Man, film-making is hard!
