Grand Prize winner of Chicago’s 2003 edition of the 72 Hour Feature Project, Hanging was made – you guessed it – shot, and edited in 72 hours. Filmed in Austin, the movie is based on actual events at a local emergency youth center. Hanging was shot on location in a youth center and uses nonprofessional actors to tell its story of a 15-year-old removed from his home by Child Protective Services.
