SOL, a sci-fi short from Superlux, was shot, chopped and dropped for the 2012 Atlanta 48-hour Film Project. In a field of 84 entries, SOL garnered best actor honors for 11-year-old Kj Saifullah at the 2012 Atlanta 48-Hour Festival. Around 2am on Saturday, June 15, Director Mark Falls selected a story by writer Tom Rittenhouse from roughly 30 scenarios the team had generated since genre selection, held at 7:30pm the previous evening. With a final draft on paper at 5:30am, the cast and crew embarked on a 38-hour frenzy of shooting, cutting, scoring and post production. It was amazingly fun. Check out the SOL trailer here.
SOL screens March 17 in the Other Worlds Shorts block at the 2013 Atlanta Film Festival. It also screened at the 2012 Sun and Sand Festival in Biloxi, and will have 2 screenings at the International Horror & Scifi Festival, a component of the 2013 Phoenix Film Festival.
