Sara Thiemann and Sophia Gant star in "When Given Lemons", a film written and produces entirely in 48 hours

Of Lemons and Superheros

showcasing films from the 48 Hour Film Project, Boston

On June 22, 2004, a live cable sccess program was produced in the studios of Somerville Community Access Television which showcased two films that were submitted as part of the "48 Hour Film Project Boston." Cast and crew members of these productions were interviewed, and the two short films were screened, each of which were created entirely between April 2-4 of 2004. The elements of a given character (Spudgy McGonnagle, Pastry Chef), prop (garden hose) and line of dialog ("So what"s the plan this time, Brainiac?") were required in all the films, and each team leader chose a genre from a hat as the competition began.
