Watch the Summer School Trailer! Several months ago we posted the trailer for our film Summer School and now after 2 years of craziness our hard work finaly has a chance to pay off.
Yes, we have recently completed the film Summer School and are now selling copies at www.randomcreatureface.com! “Summer School” is a story that was based on the experiences of writer/director Ben Trandem. Back in high school, Trandem took Summer School to get a Government class out of the way before the school year started. Being bored out of
his mind, he spent evenings and weekends watching tons of bad B horror films. From thereTrandem developed the story of Charles, a horror film aficionado, who falls into a deep sleep during Summer School classes and becomes entangled in a mesh of nightmares, each involving a different category of the horror genre. Ben enlisted the
help of 5 different writer/directors to complete the vision of the film, allowing each director to choose their favorite genre of horror film. Since all
directors were taught at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design
to make 15 minute shorts, Trandem had no reason to doubt that these director’s
short horror ideas could be combined to make a full feature with a running
narrative. Trandem took all the directors ideas and scripts for each
section and wrote the screenplay. The film was shot on the Panasonic DVX100a
on an $8000 budget in 25 days in the Summer of 2005. It was shot on location
in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, in St. Patrick's Catholic School, and in Spooner,
Wisconsin. This is Random Creatureface Films first feature length project. Our final budget for the film was around 35,000 dollars after post production. One thing we learned while making this film is that GOOD original music is indispensible (and expensive) and that proper sound mixing can make the difference between a good film and a great film! If you haven't already, check out the trailer here!
We would love to hear your feedback or questions.
