A man's last ditch effort to impress his elusive ex-girlfriend. - This project was shot for the 2nd Act Film Festival Starring: Timaine Bryant & Angela Irons Directed By: Andrew Smith & Kelvin Edwards Cinematography: Kelvin Edwards Sound & Editing: Andrew Smith

"Wanna See My Show" by A1 Day1 Productions was created for the Charlotte 48 hour film festival! We are beyond excited to be selected as the winner for best film this year with an opportunity to meet winners from across the world in Seattle next Spring! This could not have been made possible without the talent and skills of our phenomenal cast & crew! From the moment we began creating the script to the final shot after a long 12-hour day, everyone was dedicated to their craft and it showed in the final product. We can't say thank you enough to all those that helped bring this film to life!! For those who don't know, there are certain rules within the 48 hour film project that we must abide by. This year, we got the theme "Horror". The line of dialogue to use was "What does the sign say?" The prop we had to use was blue painters tape and finally, we had to have a character in there named Evan or Emily Wordsworth. Let us know what you think in the comments! This will only be public for a limited amount of time, so watch while you still can!
