48 Hour Film Project - Providence


My Kitchen has been getting a work out this week! On top of creating a Maryland style crab cake for one of my frozen seafood clients, I donated delicious treats to Goldilocks Productions. They are participants in the 48 Film Project being held in Providence this weekend. The Goldilocks Productions team will be one of 12 teams participating for a chance to win a national competition and a chance to be in the LA Short Film Festival - but get this...Goldilocks is so cool ......THEY ARE ALREADY going to be in the LA film Festival with their killer short flick Third Date - check it out http://www.thirddatemovie.com/ . With that feather in their cap we KNOW they will nail it in Providence....especially with Delicious Powell & Company Treats to keep them going.


At 7:00pm tonight each team will pick their genre, literally from a hat! They have know idea what they will get, so planning ahead is merely impossible. The goal is to be ready for anything and everything! A team of 15 - writers, editors, producers... - will work and write feverishly through the night. They meet the rest of the crew - actors, camera, wardrobe...you name it - at 6:00am tomorrow!!! They will do what ever it takes to produce something amazing...results must be turned in at 7:00pm on Sunday.

My task is to keep the team of 15 going through the first night. A few variables will determine my menu.

  • It is hot - I mean wicked hot. Cold food is a must.

  • The crew will be grazing through the night... a little here at 10:00pm, a little there at 2:00am, and another little thing at 5:00am.......Small portions of finger friendly foods, check!

  • Transportation and Refrigeration are issues, so compact, easy to transport containers packed in a cooler is the only way to go when traveling from Marshfield to Providence in the trunk of a car!


  • 2 women have Celiac Disease so my menu selection is crucial.

After careful deliberation I select my menu....and inspirational messages...for my friends over at Goldilocks Productions! I hope they enjoy eating it as much as I did preparing it!!!!
