Has anyone ever made a movie?

Obviously that's a leading question. But I'm quite interested in hearing about your own personal exploits before someone has the good decency to ask about Lisa's / Mr Marzipan's / Mine.

I once helped a friend from Am Dram make a short film for her course. We played the Seven Deadly Sins getting together for an annual house party. I was Greed, who was in a gay relationship with Envy. We had a scene in which Envy was looking out the window coveting the next door neighbour's possessions while I promised to buy them all.

Then in the group Party scene we had a fight over a ring and I got to scrub Envy's head in the cat litter tray.

It was fun at the time, but nothing on God's earth would get me to watch it now.

I made a trailer for a fictional film called 'Hellflea'

It is quite possibly the best trailer for a fictional film ever made, even if I do say so myself.

I hear Lisa/Mr Marz/Ste made a movie and I'm quite interested in hearing more about it.

I hope someone can provide more details.

Thanks

We made a B-movie spoof in Comp and had someone with a big wooden axe and a green plastic mask running around the school. Someone saw him and phoned the police.

Tell us about your movie (not a film, a movie) ste and co.?

My friend and I re-made Terminator 2 with just the two of us playing all the characters. I was Robert Patrick - our special effects were way better. We didn't want to go out and buy a Guns and Roses album, so we just played the soundtrack through the telly in the background.

Well, I'm glad you asked.

Last Saturday, Lisa gathered a small group of interested friends and friends of friends for the national 24 hour film challenge. The rules are simple - at 11AM on the Saturday, you get given a title, a genre, and 24 hours in which to film, edit, and deliver it.

Our title was "THE NIGHT THEY INVENTED CHAMPAGNE". Our genre was "ACTION".

We got it done. How would you have done it? That's an exercise for the reader.

It's 1944 in Germany. The Nazi's are attempting to wipe out every trace of Judaism from the planet. They discover that champagne was invented by Jews and unmake it.

Ben Cohen (played by Jean Claude Van Damme) is a renegade U.S. Intellegence Officer deep behind enemy lines.
It is his mission to stop the Nazi's reign of evil.

Meanwhile, across the globe, posh families are in turmoil as they are without something to drink at dinner time.
Wine manufacturers hang themselves as what used to be incredibly expensive Champagne suddenly becomes vinegar
And the Champagne region of France falls into the sea

Ben, with his trust black sidekick, Chuck Harris (played by Danny Glover) who is just one mission away from honourable discharge and retirement, have only 20 hours to stop the Nazi's removing all Judaism from the world- even wiping out Ben Cohen himself.

With nothing but an arsenal of weaponry the US government would be proud of, Ben takes on the whole of Nazi Germany as he stealthily sneaks around the country leaving death, blood, explosions and death in his wake.

The deeper Ben gets into Germany, the higher the body count until he meets face to face with Hitler himself.
Will he strike a blow for Yids everywhere and tear The Fuhrer a new arsehole and reinvent champagne, or will his love for his blonde big titted girl which he managed to meet on his travels and fall deeply in love with prove his downfall?

I have two degrees in film. I was on the theory track, but I made a few films along the way.

My undergraduate film was titled 'BADASS' about females/billiards/guns and I made another, more experimental, piece about smoking titled 'DRAG' to test a new camera.

I have a giant box of 8mm and 16mm film footage you will never see.

I also made seven films of the band Sonic Youth which were digitally transferred and turned over to the band for use in some undetermined future project.

I was in London during the time of the Lisa/Ste/Swiv project, but was too busy shopping/packing/drinking/dancing to participate.

Perhaps next time.

I've been in a few low-budget films. One was the weekend sci-fi trailer thing. We didn't win but the director was very nice. The only thing I really remember from the other film was that it was very cool. And that I was crying a lot as I smudged far too much of the tear stick under my eye(the makeup girls had gone home as we didn't finish till near 12 and so i was crying half an hour later on the way home)

I'm in a movie somewhere on a Swedish website.

Oh wait. That's not what you mean, is it?
