A short film featuring the creative touch of fraternal twins has made the cut for a unique festival.

The Crazy8s Film Society has announced the winners of their 19th annual competition, #Crazy8sFilms18, and the film CC is on the list.

The directors of photography team for CC are the Talbot Brothers, known not only for their work on projects like Lawrence and Halloman, but also for shooting the Doritos commercial When Pigs Fly that aired during the 2015 Super Bowl.

Filmed on a farm in Aldergrove, When Pigs Fly is the only 100 per cent Canadian made ad to ever air at any Super Bowl.

Now 28, the twins grew up in 91原创, attending 91原创 Fine Arts School from Grades 1 to 12, and are former Walnut Grove residents.

CC, which coincidentally is directed by twin sisters Kailey Spear and Sam Spear, involves an AI nanny who assaults her employer and the investigative team who must determine what caused the attack. Jewel Staite (Stargate Atlantis, The Killing) is set to star.

Chosen from among a record 228 original applications, this year鈥檚 selection of six short films features a variety of colourful characters.

The selected stories include a tale of Syrian refugees and a border guard faced with an impossible decision, a washed-up badminton player looking for redemption, an amateur painter whose reality is transformed by the fish that she paints, a young girl with a love for dance who may just happen to be death incarnate, and gamers who must confront the dark side of virtual reality when they meet in real life.

Of the record 201 teams who submitted a four-minute pitch video to be a part of Crazy8s in early November, a short-list of 42 semifinalists was chosen and invited to pitch their projects in person to a jury made up of Amanda Tapping, Christine Haebler, Zach Lipovsky, Kaare Andrews, Sabrina Furminger and Lawrence Le Lam .

From those, 12 teams were then chosen to move forward into the final stages of the competition 鈥� completing their scripts with intensive story editing sessions with a group of 鈥榮cript doctors鈥� including Brian Casilio, Ric Beairsto, Kat Montagu, Rudy Thauberger, Bill Hurst and Sara Graefe.

The 12 polished scripts were reviewed and heatedly debated at the final jury meeting on Jan. 7, and now the six winning teams will be making their Crazy8s short films this year.

The winning films include: Bordered, CC, Extra-Ordinary Amy, Gemini, Shuttlecock and Small Fish

Teams started production Feb. 9. 

From there, they鈥檒l have just eight days to shoot, edit and post their films, with $1,000 cash and significant in-kind assistance provided by the local film community.

The completed films will screen Feb. 24 during the#Crazy8sFilms18 Gala Screening at The Centre (777 Homer St., Vancouver) with the official after party to follow at Science World. Last year鈥檚 films played to a record 1,750-plus people at the gala.

Nelson said it鈥檚 鈥渟uper crazy鈥� to have a film shown at the festival.

鈥淚t鈥檚 such a tight deadline, but it鈥檚 a really exciting experience,鈥� Nelson said on Friday, Feb. 9, during the filming of CC.

鈥淭his festival is supported by the local community, and it means so much for the community to get behind the six films that are being produced. It鈥檒l be exciting to watch all of our work together.鈥�

The two sets of twins have a long history of collaboration, including on the Twilight series.

鈥淲e have a long-running connection,鈥� Nelson said. 鈥淲e like working together.鈥�

Nelson said there would be a lot of work to be done over the next week, 鈥渢hen it鈥檚 all enjoyment after that.鈥�
