Solar Eclipse A trailer completed for the 48 Hour Film Challenge for MoFest 3 in Chicago, IL. We were given three lines of dialogue... "What the hell we supposed to do, yah moron?" "When you're 3, gasoline doesn't taste that bad." "Don't you be grabbing into my birthday purse." We were also given two props we had to incorporate... a tusk/horn and an abacus. The last condition was a single word or phrase that had to signify our film as a whole... we were assigned "solar eclipse."
