Cup of Destiny

The original Cup of Destiny was made for the 24/one challenge during the 2011 Edmonton International Film Festival. Sadly it didn't make the top ten, however those involved had such fun making it, that they decided to make a sequel. Cup of Destiny 2 had an actual budget, though still non existant by most standards, and was filmed over 10 weekends as opposed to Cup of Destiny which was made in 24 hours.

Cup of Destiny is the story of a young man named Charles Phillips, and his efforts to become famous. While wallowing in obscurity he is aproached by a talking dog who tells him of the titular cup. Charles is then faced with a series of challenges to get it.

Cup of Destiny 2:Ready to Roll has Charles recruited once again by Shadow. This time to save the world from colapse due to the overnight disapearence of a precious resource.
