In college I was part of an improv comedy team, as well as being active with a bunch of film-making enthusiasts.
Those two loves led to these, a series of films conceived, shot, and produced in a single day, edited that night, and debuted the next morning. We made several over the years. I have them all on DVD and about once a year the fellas come over and we down some beers and do a marathon.
I just now discovered/remembered that I had uploaded many of them to MySpace (remember THAT?) a few years ago. I thought what the hell, I might as well share the better ones with my OT pals. If you're bored or interested, here they are.
The video quality is a bit sketchy due to the size limits MySpace had. Sorry. They are all intended as genre parodies, so if they suck, much like The Room, it was on purpose. :)
My personal favorite is EVERYBODY DIES, a whodunit mystery that I think is as good a film as can possibly be made under the circumstances (with no pre-planning outside of the title). Was it the adulterous lumberjack? The escaped mental patient? The corrupt businessman or the evil twin?!? (24 min)
Next is COMING OF AGE, a coming of age drama about a young man coping with all of lifes challenges. Somewhere between "A Separate Peace" and "Cannonball Run," this tale is semi-autobiographical and semi-hilarious. (14 min)
BLOOD AND BREAKFAST is a standard vampire-runs-a-hotel kind of picture with femme fatales, rock stars, and sword fights, and I'm proud of the original score (15 min), and TWO SCOOPS OF TERROR is a college-kids-killed-one-by-one-by-ice-cream-man affair, but it's only 10 min. BLOOD HOUSE is the story of a will reading at a haunted house, with evil rednecks, Irish hooligans, mediocre special effects, and cultists everywhere! (14 min)
Lastly is THE OTHER SIDE OF HUMAN, a futuristic thriller about humanoid robots so exciting you don't notice that the movie doesn't exist. (4 min).
If anyone checks these out, all rights reserves and no animals were harmed in the making.
