Sam Washington WINS the Smoke & Mirrors 48 Hour film Competition

Sam Washington has won the 2011 Smoke and Mirrors 48 hour film competition with his film ‘Lost and Found’ - After a grueling 48 hours of writing, shooting and editing, all based around a theme that was announced at 7pm on a Friday evening he delivered his finished film which was one of 40 entries. Whittled down to 6, he received the good news last night!

Gary Szabo – MD of Smoke & Mirrors and 48 Hour Competition Organiser – as he announced the winning  film said “One of the judges wanted to give this film a perfect 10, but we had to talk them out of it as that would mean someone would have made the perfect 48 hour film and we would have to shut the  competition down. So, they gave it a 9.5”
