    16mm B/W Film

    My first attempt at a feature length film. Filmed on 16mm black and white. It’s kind of terrible. Fortunately this incomplete version is all that was on the SVHS ‘master’. I believe there is an entire film somewhere, but I am not in possession of it.

    The budget was non-existent. The lead actor had to step out a week before production, so I cast myself (I am not an actor).

    The crew traveled from Illinois to Indiana, having been told that room and board were covered for the week, but that was a mis-communication. Instead we slept on floors and ate from the Taco Bell Value Menu. At the end of the week they were all ready to go home, and very done with me and my movie.

    To their credit, everyone involved on the production was much more professional than it deserved.
