Hi, Fran Harris. My biggest concern would be safety/getting the movie filmed in 24 hours in a safe way for everyone.

The producer is a P O S. Walk away
If it's a feature, I agree, Dan MaxXx. Walk away. If it's a short, I think 24 hours is enough time to film the movie safely, depending on how long the short needed to be.

Is it a short? By the way, the original Little Shop of Horrors was shot in 48 hours.
A feature in 24 hours? Unless it is one continuous take and you had a few weeks to rehearse and block, it is a disaster waiting to happen.

You're welcome, Fran Harris. Tech Support might be able to help with your comments vanishing. My comments haven't vanished before, but I like to copy my comments after typing them so I can repost the comments in case anything happens, like if my internet cuts off.

Post production would be my biggest worry in that time frame. I'd want to be done shooting in under 8 hours and have 16 to cut, color correct, do some sound mixing and deliver. But would be a kick to give it a shot.

Casting. I have some single location, nearly single room screenplays. But it would take three good actors to get it all together.
I’d have a second unit capture the other side of some conversations.
I would grade everything and then throw a cut together.
0-4 rehearsal and blocking.
5-12 First unit stuff
13-17 second unit
18-20 grading and assembly
21-24 the edit and rendering.
