A Very Special Halloween

Don't know how we missed this one. A Very Special Halloween is a holiday film from the 2007 48 Hour Film Project (48HFP). Denver producer/director Will Kingston of BadScience Entertainment made the film at Base 2 Studios with members of the Bovine Metropolis Theater. It was originally screened in Denver at the Starz Filmcenter on August 8, 2007.

48HFP teams must base their films on one of 13 genres (ranging from buddy film to Sci-Fi) selected from a hat. Officials then randomly draw a character, prop and line of dialogue that each team must incorporate into their film. Assignments are made on a Friday night and film teams must write, shoot, edit and score a movie in the next 48 hours. A typical running time is between four and seven minutes.

The BadScience team was given the following required film elements:

• genre: holiday
• character: Kenny or Kendra Colter, tattoo artist
• prop: a pie
• line of dialogue: "I bet you think you're clever, huh?"

The original Club Sensationzzz (Sam, Galloway Allbright; Ryan Mattingly) and Convention? cast members, Kathleen Boland and Keith Rains, appear in the film.

New York

Sam was in Times Square last night toasting the new year. He'll be meeting with Big Shots and filming, hopefully, in NYC in early February. In the meantime he'll be crashing on the sofas of anyone who'll allow it--or wasn't warned--from Manhattan to Ithaca College.

Film, radio, and stand up

Sam shot B roll footage in South Park today for the movie, recorded a comedy Christmas special (listen here) on Marijuana Radio with Dick Black and Ben Kronberg, did 20 minutes of stand up at Woody's Wood Fire Pizza, then complained of a 16 hour workday.
