on Sunday evening to be eligible for awards.

Cavegirl Productions, in association with Catalyst
Films, created the
historical fiction/period piece and reality show parody The
Old World for the DC 2006
48 HFP. The Old World's tagline was: "What happens when eight
historical characters, plucked from the fabric of time, are
forced to live together on an RV?"
For the DC 2005 48 HFP, Cavegirl Productions participated in association
with Defektiv Films. Their
horror entry, HATCH,
filmed on a
120-ft former coastal patrol boat, was selected for the "Best
of the 48HFP" (top 15 films), and was also awarded Best Locations.
In October 2004, they participated
in 48 HFPs sister competition,
the National Film Challenge.
Their entry, FELT: Tearing the Fabric of America,
made the top ten out of 151 entries, and
was awarded Best Mockumentary.
Cavegirl and Defektiv's first film endeavour was APERTURE,
a sci-fi short made for the
2004 DC 48 HFP.
