Don't Just Stand There -- Award winning (Best Editing) entry at 48-hour Film Festival, New Hampshire USA. Shot in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Kinn, Norway. Film completed from start to finish in 48 hours. We pulled the genre, drama, quite literally out of a hat along with a single line of dialogue, 'Don't Just Stand There, Move It..' that we were required to include in the film. We decided, in the midst of shooting, that we would change course and that the central idea of the film would be anchored to that same line of dialogue. 6gb of raw video was shot in Norway and uploaded to a server in Portsmouth, where it was edited and incorporated in to the American footage. The film was intended to make the audience think about a situation, one that could have happened to them. Somewhere far away there has been a death of a child and a man on the other side of the Atlantic is haunted by these thoughts, sounds and images. He wanders alone, confused, going deeper and deeper into his troubling thoughts wandering around lost. One can hear children's music, and we see a woman chasing after her child . We tried to evoke happiness, sadness and confusion and the wonder of it all.

George C. Scott leads an all-star cast in this imaginative suspense thriller that attempts to shed some light on the historic disaster even as its intricate plot unfolds. As a colonel assigned by the German government to make certain no one sabotages the Hindenburg on its transatlantic voyage, Scott suspects everyone aboard the luxury ship - particularly a German countess (Anne Bancroft) vehemently opposed to the Nazi regime. Stylishly directed by Robert Wise and co-starring Burgess Meredith, Gig Young, Charles Durning and Richard Dysart, The Hindenburg brings to life one of aviation's most infamous events and one of the screen's most engrossing mysteries.

Though determined to stay retired from the counter-espionage agency known as ICE, Matt Helm (Dean Martin) is tapped by MacDonald, his former boss, to find a hijacked American spacecraft that, in the wrong hands, could be used to control the world. Just the kind of "wrong hands" MacDonald and his superiors feared, Jose Ortega (Albert Salmi) and his Acapulco beer-brewing associate, Quintana, will stop at nothing short of global domination. So, armed with a collection of state-of-the-art secret weapons, Helm leaves behind an incredible bachelor apartment and a very private secretary, Lovely Kravezit, for the Mexican Riviera. In Acapulco, Matt not only tangles with double agent Francesca Madeiros (Senta Berger), but also with the equally lovely pilot of the stolen spacecraft, Sheila Sommers (Janice Rule). All too aware of the growing sexual tension between them, Sheila jealously watches Matt react to Francesca's seductive charms, the many beautiful girls surrounding Quintana, and twelve "Slay-girls" who seem to pop up at the most awkward moments. To smash the Ortega-Quintana operation, Matt must first escape death by firing squad and survive a running battle in Ortega's brewery. And when he and Sheila finally recover the spacecraft, the "Ace from ICE" and his "out of this world" girl are free to pursue their own brand of romance.
