What a great film! I loved the acting, lighting, birds-eye view and tracking shots of this film. The story was so simple but executed well. Awesome work!!!

Awesome work guys! I loved the amount of effort you guys put in with the number of actors and the colour grading. The costuming and wide shots were also super cool. It was amazing to witness this film on the big screen :) Keep up the great work.

Ahhh I loved your editing in this film! You guys did some awesome masking and I'd love to learn how to do that. I understand that you guys are a high school team and I love that you guys participated in this challenge. This level of effort you guys put in is amazing and I can't wait to see you guys flourish and polish your skills further. Great work!!!!

Absolutely loved your camera and editing skills in this film. All aspects of this film were amazing. I particularly loved the consistency in lighting throughout the film. It looked so natural even though the character was shown to be inside a closet. Your audio build-up was also super awesome and I can't believe you did that in 48 hours!! Great work everyone!!!

What a great film, brilliant concept and kept me captivated the whole time!

Loved this film so much. A struggle I'm pretty sure everyone can relate to executed in a hilarious fashion. A perfect blend of suspense techniques enhanced the comedy ridiculousness of the whole endeavour.

Our only complaint is we have to wait so long to watch it again.

Dorotha is rejected at her own sleepover, the onesie brings out another side of her personality and the rift elevates into a late night dance battle.

Mercury Bay Area School came to the party with your fun Onesie Breakdown film. When we gave out the Dance genre I was hoping someone would reference the influential Dance platform TikTok which your team did.

I love it when high school teams have characters that match your own age, so kudos for both those things. I thought the edit was really good. It was short, snappy and entertaining. Some great technical elements like lighting, and a stonking dance track! Well done team! It was fantastic to see how the Whitianga community supported your team in the credits too.

Narrated by the main character, this sweet film is a simple story about Ron who has ambitions to be a good barista.

Embracing the 'coming-of age' genre this film about getting your first job and building your work skills. Using the montage technique to see Ron's multiple failed attempts at making coffee was a good way of passing time, with a good payoff at the end when he finally masters it.

I would like to know more about Ron, why the job is important to him, who is Ron in his daily life. if I had more connection to the character I would be more invested in his employment plight. Congratulations team on completing your film in 48Hours!

Possibly the best 48hours film there ever was or will be.
