How did you get permission to shoot
at the two colleges, and the video store? The producer
walked in and asked...next question.
How did you cast this thing?
Thanks for writing in...you must be a first year film student.
Well, what you do, see, is get actors and assign them roles
to play...how do you think??? They probably cast anyone who
was willing to work for free, the majority of which I'm sure
were homeless folks with no other agenda. Okay, seriously,
many actors they had worked with in the past fit certain characters
perfectly. For the rest, they put up casting notices locally,
and held auditions for a couple major roles in New York City.
They also used friends/family/coworkers who were right for
some parts.
What about the crew?
My understanding is that they asked random passer-bys to operate
the camera or adjust sound levels or hold the boom. Their
position is as follows: "Several crew members we had
worked with on movies in the past, and some presently at our
day jobs in the television industry. Another crew member saw
our casting notice and called, and the rest were awesome cast
members doing their part to support the low budget indie!"
Come on...you really shot this low
budget film on THREE continents??? Uhh, yea...what
don't you understand...3, count 'em three continents - The
College Murders was shot on location in New Jersey and Virginia,
USA; the islands of Rarotonga and Aitutaki in the Cook Islands;
and Nanyuki, Kenya in Africa...oh yes, and in Bermuda. Wait
a minute, are the Cook Islands considered a continent? Maybe
they're part of the continent of Australia. Hell, I don't
know, ask them...they're the ones who are making the claim!
What WAS your budget anyway?
As if it's any of your business to inquire about someone else's
finances. But I asked them the same thing and since I'm getting
paid $275 per answer here...Wait, what was the question?
What year is Maxx's Mustang?
1968...and it's a Cougar, not a Mustang, you got that you
ignorant moron?!?! I would have called you something much
worse, but they asked me to keep it clean and polite here,
ya jackass.
How the hell does Maxx, a college
student, have a vintage antique automobile? What
are you trying to say - I'm not 'cool' enough to own a sweet
ride? If you must know the history...my grandmother, in one
of the only good deeds anyone in my so-called family ever
did for me, left me the car in her will.
What was this movie shot on/what
equipment did you have? They shot on DV with a
professional grade camera, external xlr mic, Glidecam, underwater
housing, an ultralite for the aerial photography, and many
other accessories and add-ons. Personally, I would have shot
this brilliant piece on 35mm film, but they couldn't afford
it, which of course they hid under the guise of "film
is not the 'look' we want for this movie"...I got two
letters for you wanna be filmmakers...BS!
Who were these fantastic actors
in this film and what else have they done? Wrong
web page! Please see the Cast page.
Resumes and other information are there, if available.
I wanted to ask the same thing as
this dude above, but about the crew. Also the wrong
page...dude. Please see the Crew page.
Resumes and other information are there, if available. Be
good enough to look before you ask next time, champ!
How long did it take to make this
movie? See the web page conveniently titled Timeline
for detailed information, but the breakdown is summarized
as follows (all times are approximate): 5 months of pre-production,
8 months to shoot and 22 months of post-production.
Why the hell did it take so friggin'
long to finish this movie? Why the hell did it
take so friggin' long for you to reach puberty? This movie
has been a labor of love for these people and is low-budget
filmmaking at it's best. They have been meticulous in making
sure every step of the movie-making process was done as well
as possible within their means...and it doesn't help that
they all have been working their day jobs as well! So before
you criticize, how 'bout you try making a quality feature-length
movie under these conditions sometime, steakface!!! (That's
a good little insult, Jane, since I can't use any of my favorite
curse words.)
How many people were involved in
the making of this movie? 88 so far. That was the
easiest answer yet. Never made $275 that quickly before. How
about some more questions? Keep on asking away people...I'm
waiting. Trying to finance my next film, "The Rumpled
Fist II: The Ascent", here!
