Limo Ride

In the greatest bar story ever told, ten friends recount the true tale of surviving their wildest night. After hiring a sketchy limousine service, a rag-tag bunch of hard partiers embark on their New Year's tradition – running naked into the Gulf of Mexico – only to find themselves 24 hours later kidnapped, stripped, stranded, and left for dead. Combining narration of the actual participants with feature-length re-creation, filmmakers Gideon C. Kennedy and Marcus Rosentrater take you on a hilarious ride about getting lost, getting found and getting hammered.

Star Wars Wars

Marcus Rosentrater

The six Star Wars films playing at the same time. The films are synchronized to the very first frame of the main title, STAR WARS, as to not allow the varying lengths and start times of the 20th Century Fox logo to influence possible narrative outcomes in the films. Visually the films were layered into Adobe After Effects at 100% opacity. The blending mode "Lighter Color" was chosen because its blending properties operated the same no mater what the layer order was. It was important to me that each film had equal opportunity. The "Lighter Color" blending mode gives preference to brighter pixels, therefore brighter scenes obliterate darker scenes.
