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.

A marine patrol secretly lands on the Japanese-occupied island of Siarago. Their mission: to locate a Japanese-American girl with vital information concerning General MacArthur's pending Philippine invasion. What they uncover instead is a Japanese plot to detonate underwater mines as the US fleet enters the bay. Cut off from outside communication, these brave marines must find a way to prevent what could be the worst naval tragedy from ever happening.

Hugh O'Brian, Mickey Rooney and James Mitchum star in this World War II nail-biter. With time running out, a detachment of Marines plows through the Philippine jungle to find a Japanese-American girl who holds vital data about Gen. Douglas MacArthur's imminent invasion. In the process, the soldiers turn up a plot to destroy the U.S. fleet using underwater mines. Without a means of communication, can the doughboys find a way to foil the attack?

In 1944, a nine-man Marine patrol secretly lands on a Japanese-held island in order to contact a spy who has important information about General MacArthur's planned invasion of the Philippines.
