In many ways, participating in the 48-Hour Film Project is the opposite of what we usually do. Instead of championing and facilitating the right for each and everyone to have a voice and tell his or her own story, we brought a diverse group of people together to craft and tell one just one story in a weekend. I wanted Public Access of Indianapolis to participate in the 48-Hour Film Project because I thought it would be more fun than say, Cable Franchise Board meetings and FCC hearings, give us an opportunity to work with new people, and create momentum for the production of more community-based media. My hope for the weekend was for everyone involved to have had a good experience and to have learned something ?and to have a completed short film that wouldn?t embarrass us. Yes, as much as I believed in the value of the experience, I still did not want to be embarrassed by the finished product.
