The closest I got to being part of film was this 2004 short film.
It cost about $400, mostly for the camera tapes and food for the cast and crew.
Filmed in my house and at a local nearby school.
It was really funny during the rehearsals of the attack sequence to have to explain to my neighbours that it was a short film, not a cult execution or something equally strange. LOL.
In 2011, I thought about doing a sequal, but I find that I no longer have any idea of what happened to these characters.
Debbie was based on a real life person and that skip class conversation was true. The real Debbie died in her 30s from breast cancer. She didn’t remember the conversation and put it down to teenaged dramatics.
I wrote the script when I was at the Vancouver Film School and made it as part of a workshop I had been involved and long associated with.
anyway
workshop has become the most hated word in the English language to me
