Each Filmmaker was given the challenge to re-interpret two chapters of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” –the only rule was that they must include the first and the last lines of text from their chapters (and a 10 minute time limit). See what happens when the murky depths of that crazy old rabbit hole get plumbed once more! (Not a euphemism)
