Out Of My League (Short Film) | 48 Hour Film Project Philadelphia 2019

We were nominated for AND WON 2 awards at the 48 Hour Awards! Winner of the Audience Award (group A) and Best Use of Character! Our short film for the 2019 Philadelphia 48 Hour Film Project: Out Of My League. This is the slightly extended director's cut. The cut we wanted to submit, but couldn't since we had to shave almost a minute off the runtime to be eligible for the competition. Out Of My League follows Hannah, who enlists the help of her disgraced ex-Pool champion Uncle, to help her win her pool enthusiast ex-boyfriend back. The required elements for the 48 hour film were: Genre: Sports film or (action/adventure - which we didn't pick) Required character: Uncle George Required line of dialogue: Why'd you do that? Required prop: A wrapped gift Cast: Lauren LaVera as Hannah Andrew Glessner as Uncle George Kathryn Miller as Georgette Buddy Caine as Josh Crew: Directed by Wesley Mellott Produced by Andrew Glessner, Wesley Mellott, and Brian Schwenk Written by Kathryn Miller, Lauren LaVera, Andrew Glessner, Wesley Mellott, Cory Harrill, Alex Schwarz, and Brian Schwenk Cinematography by Wesley Mellott Music by Adrian Gucze Edited by Cory Harrill & Wesley Mellott Assistant Directors: Jessica Meeley & Brittany Snyman 2nd Assistant Camera: Alex Funston Grip & Gaffers: Hieu Tran & Brian Schwenk Boom Operator: Andrea Canonico Props & Set Decoration: Jessica Meeley Make-up: Brittany Snyman Production Assistants: Ryan Osborne, Alex Funston, and Susan Chang BTS Video: Hieu Tran & Susan Chang Be sure to check out our other short films as well as our previous 48 hour film projects!
