This is the finished cut of Kilroy Productions’s 48Hour Film Project, Boston 2008 edition. Competing teams have 48 hours to create a short film, from script to score, from scratch.

I signed up for Flickr about a year ago. I forget why. My account lay dormant for months at a time; I used my own install of Gallery2 to host my photos. But while I toiled over customizing my primitive little albums, Flickr was pumping billions of dollars into improving its mechanics and UI.
