The soundtrack didn't make it on to the original due to the delay in filming the Spanish footage and the knock on effect this had on the edit.

Film Dash Cut

The brief was to create a 5 minute maximum film within 48 hours. We had to use a visual reference to the title of one of Hitchcock producer Michael Balcon's films and also a line from a particular film. Our visual reference was "Train of Events". We were also given the line "Any man who stands between us and the whisky is an enemy" which is from the brilliant Whisky Galore based on Compton McKenzie's novel of the same name.

We didn't win but received an honourable mention. The Judge's statement is here. We were applauded for best cast though!
