One Afternoon, One Film
José recently had the pleasure of advising and assisting a group of bankers make a film as part of the 15 Minutes of Fame team-building exercise. Big Deal, right? How about starting at 12:30pm and showing the finished film at 8:30pm? ...And the cast and crew found out that they were doing it only a half hour before? No matter. It was fun, the people were nice, and they enjoyed themselves. The film is entertaining, too.
