 As part of the UKs National 48 Hour Film Challenge 2003, the films  writer/director was randomly assigned a title ("The Herb Garden")  and a genre ("Romantic comedy") and given 48 hours to write, shoot,  and edit the film. Since he wasnt able to get his hands on a video  camera, he shot the entire film with a still camera, editing the  still images together on his computer to create the feeling of  motion.
