48 Hour Film Project Winner 2008: Dirty Dishes



Dirty Dishes was made for the 48 Hour Film Project, which is a annual film contest where you have to make a film from scratch in just 48 Hours. All teams were assigned a prop (a wrench), a character (Ira the Dishwasher), and a line of dialogue (“You better double check”) that had to be included in the final film.

Dirty Dishes won an Audience Choice Award, as well as the Best Director award.
