AWARD WINNING MOVIE FILMED AT THE SEAWARD INN
In October 2008, the directors and producers of The Bait & Tackle Ad Company of Gloucester Massachusetts asked to use the Seaward Inn to film a short "scary movie" to be used in a contest. It was the last day of our season, we didn't really know anything about these people but they promised to be unobtrusive and, it and I figured, "why not"? It seemed like a fun thing to do; after all, we had always thought the Inn had ghosts.
A month or so went by when, lo and behold, we discovered they WON the contest and had been awarded Best Directing and Best Music Score for its film, “Daughter of Dogtown,” in the 2008 National Film Challenge. I think they should have gotton best set design but what do I know.
The National Film Challenge is a timed filmmaking competition from the creators of the 48 Hour Film Project (48hourfilm.com) in which teams have just one weekend to write, shoot, score, and edit a seven-minute short film. Each team is given a genre for its film, and a character, prop and line dialogue that must appear in the movie. This year 300 teams participated in the competition which took place over the weekend of Oct. 24-27, 2008.
Though this marked the team’s first appearance in the National Film Challenge, Bait & Tackle is no newcomer to the contest format, having participated in ten 48 Hour Film Project festivals and similar competitions. Since 2006, the team led by Bait & Tackle President Chad Carlberg has been recognized with the Audience Award (3), a Best-of-Boston and second overall, Best Cinematography (2), Best Visual Effects, Best Set Design, Best Sound Design, Best Costuming (2), and Best Music Score (2).
