Matthew Brueckner Wins First Annual SUNY-wide Film 48 Competition

2015 Dec 10

Matthew Brueckner was part of the team of SUNY New Paltz students who took home the Grand Prize in the first annual SUNY-wide Film 48 competition.

Film 48 deviates from more traditional filmmaking contests in that it challenges participants to produce its film within a 48-hour window of time; students had just one weekend to plan a story, shoot and edit their work.

The New Paltz entry, "The Crypto Diaries: Part 1 - Lizard Man," was a hilarious mockumentary shot on location in the Shawangunk Mountains, looking at a day in the life of an eccentric cryptozoologist pursuing the elusive "Lizard Man."
