The Easter Bunny, weary of being taken for granted and getting no respect, applies for Super Hero Class A. But when the Super Hero Commission learns of Bunny’s not so perfect past, his application for super hero status is in jeopardy. The film’s story is that of an underdog, or under-bunny, in this case.

Easter Bunny Superhero is a 7-minute short film produced by Team Psycho Film Binge
for Jacksonville, Florida’s 2007 48 Hour Film Project. It won 7 awards in the competition: Best of Jacksonville (top award), Audience Award (Group A), Best Acting (Ensemble), Best Cinematography (Kirby Hamilton), Best Costume (Suzy Freeman),
Best Screenplay (Sharon Y. Cobb) and Best Use of Character.

The film also won a bronze 2008 Telly Award and will be shown in A World of Shorts presented by CFC Worldwide Short Film Festival and the National Film Board of Canada on April 15, 2009.

The short was directed by Dan Solomon and produced by Danny Quitter, Psycho Film Binge team leader. For a full list of credits, click here: http://funnyfixx.com/blog/cast-and-credits-short-films/

FUNNYFIXX NOTE: If your town hosts a 48 Hour Film Project competition and you haven’t been on a team…to write, shoot, direct, act, produce, crew, edit, compose music, do makeup, create costumes or sets or anything to get the short film made in 48 hours…do yourself a gigantic favor and jump in!! It’s a total adrenaline rush to be on a team of 5 or 50 frantically working toward one common goal—make a 7-minute film in 2 days.

I was lucky enough to get drafted by a long-time friend, Danny Quitter, to write a script for their team during the first year of Jacksonville, Florida’s plunge into the weekend filmmaking madness. The experience proved I didn’t need to wait for Hollywood to buy my scripts, I…with help of a few friends…could make films.

Easter Bunny Superhero was the launching pad for all the short films, webisodes and videos I’ve made since then, almost 90 total now…with the help of a lot of friends. Three cheers for our side!
