We Produced this Crime Drama Comedy

WARNING! Adult content intended for viewers 18 yrs and older. Contains violence, drug use, sexy, bikini-clad women in hot tub.

THE STORY AND SERMON: Screenwriter/Director, John Doby, pulled me and some of the old crew together, added some new actors and we produced this short film for less than $200. I play the role of Hank, one of two losers that come into a windfall after the other finds a bag of money that belongs to a ruthless criminal. Jason W. Fuchs plays Jack and did most of the editing in the initial version of this short film. I re-edited the film and replaced all the original music and added the closing credits. Jason is ridiculously analytical, and was his usual self as a back seat director in my ear throughout Loot’s entire production process, which is partly how I learned to produce motion picture media. Jason explained the process and many of the nuances. For over a decade, he worked on hundreds of films as a successful Assistant Director in the NYC film industry.

In this version of Loot, I re-edit the episode, replace all the original music and sound effects and add the closing credits. Expenses: hotel room, bubble bath, champagne, red dye and corn syrup for blood, duct tape, strawberries and candy bars for the toilet scene.
