‘Lost and Found’ by director Sam Washington, recent signing at Another Film Company, has won Smoke & Mirrors 48 Hour Film Competition.

39 teams submitted their short films to the competition, the theme of which was ‘lost’.

Managing director Smoke & Mirrors Gary Szabo said of the film, which follows a woman who loses her car in a multi-storey car park: “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.” 

Washington said: “In the week leading up to the competition, DP Alan Stewart and I, with the help of Another Film Company, made good use of the incredible generosity of Arri Media and Panalux.

“Arri kitted us out with a Canon 7D camera body that was retrofitted with a PL lens mount, enabling us to use a couple of Angenieux zoom lenses with the matte box, filters and follow focus that allow for a professional workflow. Panalux supplied a versatile lighting kit to Alan’s specifications that would see us through most situations.”
