I personally expected to get Best Fight Choreography (4th time in a row) as the people over at 48 Hour SD love us haha, but we didn't expect to even be nominated for the other categories.

Congrats and well done! Yeah, the fight choreography was fantastic (no one around here even tries that in a 48!) but well done for the nominations! Maybe you'll land one next year!

Thanks for checking it out, Josh!

Fun fact. When we first entered into the 48 Hour back in 2009, we won the award for "Best Choreography." For 2010, they changed the award to "Best Fight Choreography." We didn't enter that year. We didn't come back until 2012 and since then we've consistently won the award.

The cool part is that we've garnered a following from those that have also entered the same years as us. So it's humbling that people within the 48 Hour circle recognize our work.
