ZENFILM presents “Pause” - a short film (May 25, 2010 - Jun 14, 2010)
The assignment for Mission 4 (our final Fiesta mission) was to create a short film that represented the personality of the Fiesta. We teamed up with local film co. Zenfilm and we brainstormed, they wrote a script, cast for all the roles and WOW it went by fast, but it was fun! The film follows two slackers, J.C. & Bobby, through a frozen apocalypse of time, and they must figure out how to un-freeze the city of Houston. There's comedy, stunning imagery and unique special effects that bring the story to life. But most of all, the story is about using your imagination!
Join us for the worldwide premiere of "Pause", Tuesday, June 8th at Edwards Greenway Palace 24. Doors open at 7:30PM and the film starts promptly at 8PM, followed by an bonus presentation of "Get Him to the Greek".

I just finished watching “Pause” for the third time and couldn’t believe I have not seen this unreal effect before, it truly was an experience. The acting was excellent and the premise was original, nice job Zenfilm! P.S. Love the music, must have been fun making this.
