2020 – The Fixture
The Fixture – Mickey Firelight makes by as a private investigator after burning out in the police force. After a local judge is found dead, her daughter Dawn hires Mickey to figure out who killed her mother and bring the suspect out of the darkness.
Description: This is the second movie Obnots made during pandemic times (and our eighteenth movie as a team), this round for the 48 Hour Film Project’s Global Film Competition. We got detective/cop as our genre, and the required elements were ‘a lightbulb’ as the prop, Roger/Rhonda Mulkey (judge) as the character, and the line of dialogue “What’s going on?” We competed with 11 other teams in Boston. We were “neck and neck” with another team to take the Boston title, but ended up as Runner-Up. We won the following awards; Best Use of Prop, Best Use of Genre, Best Lighting, Best Set Decoration, and “Dou-bulb Indemnity” Award for Best Dialogue. This is version 2 with a deleted scene added back in and a few other fixes.
Cast & Crew: B. Zeb Polly, Ben Guaraldi, Dabu, Eve Pogoda, J.M. Moss, Jen Buckingham, Joed Polly, Leslie Diamond, Nick ‘Fig’ Figueiredo, and Ray Carre.
Outtakes
Description: Come take a tour of Obnots’ tiny set and get a better idea of how The Fixture was made. Due to COVID-19, we filmed outdoors under a canopy (which blocked bright afternoon sun, and later a heavy thunderstorm). There are also some extended scenes, funny footage we didn’t use, and don’t miss the sexy puns at the end of the video.
Cast & Crew: B. Zeb Polly, Ben Guaraldi, Eve Pogoda, JenFish, Joed Polly, Leslie Diamond, Nick ‘Fig’ Figueiredo, and Ray Carre.
