September's Showdown in Chinatown

Theme: Conspiracy
Props: a shovel and an ashtray
Line of dialogue: "Open sesame"

So were the guidelines for this month's Showdown in Chinatown, Honolulu's 48 hour short film challenge and monthly party for local film afficianados and the Hawaii film industry crowd. The twelve entries were screened at NextDoor in Chinatown (hence the name) on Saturday, September 8, and somehow I got to be a judge for the night. Totally random and unexpected, but completely a good time.
