What can be more fun than having a wild and sleepless weekend in which you and your team make a movie? Could it be the elation days later when everyone in town watches your masterpiece up on the big screen? The 48 Hour Film Project offers filmmakers the chance to write, shoot, edit, score and complete their film within 48 hours. All submitted films are then screened in a local cinema.
The 2013 Asheville 48 Hour Film Project was one again produced by Bruce Sales, and sponsored by 2BruceStudio, Western North Carolina Film Commission, Asheville Brewing Company, Venture Asheville, Makeup at the Grove Arcade, and Asheville Music School.
24 teams of roughly 400 filmmakers flooded Asheville to compete during the weekend of June 21-23. The Asheville Citizen-Times embedded reporter, Barbara Blake, penned a wonderful story for the cover of the Sunday Times, “Film Project Challenges Creative Minds”. You will also find a “Behind the Scenes” video about a winning team’s spirit of improvisation.
ABC News WLOS TV reported the struggles of filmmakers in this video.

It seemed like everyone in town came to the screenings and picked winners from June 25-27. The best was saved for “The Best Of” screening and awards show in July. It was a red carpet event with many local filmmakers caught on camera. The Best Film from Asheville, “The Audition” by Team UNCA, will be in the running for top honors in Hollywood, CA at Filmapalooza 2014, the 48 Hour Film Project’s annual awards.
Collaborating with Singers and Songwriters

A growing number of talented songwriters use 2BruceStudio, and Bruce Sales, to collaborate. They come with written songs wanting a composer’s feedback and help with musical arrangement. We add instruments from any number of choices in my virtual instrument library. We might record live instruments using the great microphones and signal processing here. The vocals always turn out great. We finish the high definition recording and I love how they’re always surprised how good it sounds when we’re done. These collaborations are giving me a chance to help as producer, composer, arranger and engineer. I love to collaborate on projects! Please, contact me and we’ll get started on yours.
Recording Studio for Asheville Music School

Students from Asheville Music School were treated with a chance to record at 2BruceStudio recently. All groups of students, solo students (each accompanied by an instructor), came prepared. Each group of musicians, or solo musician, were recorded with smiles. The quality of the recording surprised everyone. Students of the Asheville Music School study many styles, from Rock, Top 40, Opera, to Jazz, Classical and more.
Bruce Sales, owner of 2BruceStudio, remains committed to local artists, making sure all students (many of them recording for the very first time), continue to receive a good positive nudge.
