24 Hour Theater Festival Documentary (Filmed in 2017)
A true test of creative endurance and spontaneity, the 24 Hour Flash Festival showcases what can be accomplished through intense collaboration and artistic vision under extreme time constraints.
Over the course of a single 24-hour period, teams of writers, actors, musicians, designers and artists unite to conceive, develop and stage original multimedia productions from scratch. The process begins with a blank slate, as creatives draw upon their respective talents to devise scripts, choreography, compositions, staging and more within a highly compressed timeframe.
The real artistry emerges in the ensuing frenzy of rehearsals, set construction, and preparatory work as the sprawling disciplines coalesce into cohesive theatrical works. After an all-night creative marathon, the festival culminates with live performances of the freshly-minted productions before audience members.
This yearlong portfolio piece spotlights the versatility required to transform abstract concepts into fully-realized shows worthy of public exhibition. Partnering inventiveness with deadline-driven execution, the 24 Hour Flash Festival represents the epitome of creativity under pressure.
