By now an entrenched Hamilton tradition, last Friday the 24-Hour Film Festival began at midnight and finished promptly a day later with a film showing in the Annex. Out of 17 teams that left KJ 102 on Friday night with a genre awarded by lottery, only 11 teams emerged with finished films that were shown.
The big winner of the night was "F.U.C.S.U. - Federal Undercover Campus Security Unit," directed by Lauren Zoltick '11 and Laura Leonard '11. Working with the category "Cop Drama," Zoltick and Leonard fashioned a tale of the bigwigs solving the problem of streaking on the Hamilton Campus, an issue beyond the scope of regular Campus Safety. Highlights include Noah Ennis '11 and Nicolas Keller Sarmiento '13 sharing an awkard moment.
Nine of the films shown Saturday appear below.
"F.U.C.S.U. - Federal Undercover Campus Security Unit" - Cop Drama
"The Adventures of Beerman" - Superhero
"The Bachelor: Hamilton College Edition" - Reality TV
"The Duel" - Drama
"Revisiting Kirkland" - Documentary
"Dropped Call" - Horror
"Friends Forever" - Thriller
