2009 Minneapolis 48 Hour Film Project “The Grave Review”
Filmmaking teams from throughout the Minneapolis area successfully completed a weekend of filmmaking. Films were due on June 14th, and the last few minutes before the deadline saw filmmakers, operating on little sleep and lots of adrenaline, rushing to get their films in on time.
The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless weekend in which you and a team make a movie—write, shoot, edit and score it—in just 48 hours.
On Friday night, you get a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all to include in your movie. 48 hours later, the movie must be complete. Then it will show at a local theater, usually in the next week.
In 2008, some 30,000 filmmakers made films in 70 cities. This year, filmmakers around the world are taking the challenge to make a film in just 48 hours.

Twice a month we visit the Animal Humane Society of Golden Valley to film pet profiles for Comcast Local On Demand. Two of us have already adopted dogs as a result. We are proud to be a part of this really great initiative.

Token Media recently finished production of a series of web videos for MapMyRide.com covering the Frostbike tradeshow at QBP in Minneapolis. Loaded with top products from the best vendors, Frostbike gives you a window into cycling industry trends.

This method helps simplify the distribution of a large quantity of videos and enables Mapmyride to easily track viewer data. It also allows the users to share videos with friends or embed them on their site. MapMyRide.com has one of the hottest apps for the iPhone, iMapMyRide, which allows users to track their daily training data which is linked to MapMyRide.com’s powerful social network.
This is our third year of filming the Mercedes’ sales incentive trip which is organized by BI of Edina, MN. Our voyage began with a red eye to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

In addition, we also prepared several animated video loops to be projected during parts of the award ceremony. Video coming soon!
