    Pieces of Mary

    1995-96

    My first attempt at a feature length film. Filmed on 16mm black and white. It is kind of terrible, and (un?)fortunately this incomplete version is all that was on the SVHS master. I believe there is an entire film somewhere, but the master has been lost to time.

    The budget was non-existent. After the crew traveled from Illinois to Indiana, they found out that they were mis-informed that they would be in a hotel and fed. After a week of sleeping on Flores and eating Taco Bell value menu they were all ready to go home, and very done with the production.

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