Synopsis
Two optimistic souls throw logic out the window as they write love letters to each other on paper airplanes. Maybe Cupid lurks behind the conspiracy to put these two together, but that doesn't make it any easier.
But What if You Could? was made as part of the 2003 National Film Challenge by Citizen Wumpus Productions. In the contest, teams were given a genre, a prop, a line of dialog, and character that had to be in the movie.
The genre was Romance.
The prop: bicycle.
The character: Jesse Thomas, success coach.
The line: Can't you see I'm working here?
This information was given on Friday evening at 7:00PM, and the finished short had to be postmarked by noon on the following Monday.
From that information, the story of two lonely souls who somehow manage to connect by throwing paper airplanes out of their windows was born.
When it was all over, But What If You Could? was selected as a finalist for best film out of 85 entries.
