In 48 hours, the FNA Production crew and a band of merry volunteers joined to brainstorm, write, film, edit and complete a 7-minute silent film which recounts a man's devastation as he is diagnosed with Mimeitis, also known as Mime Disease.
The story is one of courage and self-discovery as Rick Everett learns to embrace what he has become in a cold civilization that does not take kindly to his type. Yet even in a world where mimes are disregarded as a scourge of society, he finds love in a mischievous "mimette" who shows him that the pantomime life is not all bad.
Tonight the film received recognition at the Cleveland 48 Hour Film Project wrap party for
Best Acting Ensemble, Audience Choice, and Best Picture. I had the pleasure of being a part of this fantastic team. Congratulations to all involved!
