Halloween and Snap Apple


Snap Apple, originally uploaded by ddbsweasel.

On Halloween the Fairfield Powerhouse Youth Centre held a showcase of five short movies from three local no budget film production groups. Trinity, Nine Lives and Rumble Pictures.

Introducing the short films was the low budget king that brought the comedy to screen of 'Double the Fist" Craig Anderson.

Rumble showed two movies, 'More Than Words' and 'The Elevator.' Craig called 'The Elevator' best film of the evening, through modified audience rating. It was like a game of Snap Apple.

Thing was that none of the short films was on a budget. The stunts were largely unscripted because, had an industry person scripted them, it might not have been allowed under occupational health and safety grounds. Industry will copy the succcess of the unpaid performer. It was ever thus.
