At noon on Saturday, August 12, 2007, Chicago participants in 2007 Film Racing Tour were challenged to create an original short film in just 12 hours based on the following assignment: Use the theme of "hiding" and include the surprise element of "striking a match." Sing, O Muse explores antiquity's greatest hiding incident, with real characters, dazzling special effects and a heart-warming song. This is the expanded directors cut. The four minute contest edit can be seen on the Film Racing homepage here.
