RAIN: A FAN FILM ABOUT STORM

I just got to see THIS on the big screen at the Alamo Village theater in Austin Texas:

Uhh No its not “my” film (don’t I wish). I had a very minor part on the crew, a volunteer boom mike operator. But it was time well spent to be a part of something THIS ambitious!

Theres some many dreamers and talkers who BS endlessly about what they’ll do “someday”. And theres people like Maya Glick who organized a Kickstarter campaign to get funding and found Zane Rutledge and Jeff Stolhand to get in there and make it happen!

And DID they make it happen! Amazing quality shooting and CGI effects! And Kick a– acting from Maya and the rest of the cast!

Ive seen a lot of fan film, ALL are well intentioned  but many are painfully amateurish…. kids in costume in their local park banging  toy sabers together…. fanboys in front of a green screen, using the camcorders mike…

 

There was the classic TROOPS, whos producers wisely played to their weaknesses, that since they were shooting on video why not just make it look like an episode of the TV show COPS…?

This “Empire Falls” looks like they were copying the look seen the “Force Awakens” trailer……  they really did a good job BUT arent the troopers now retconned to be clones of Jango Fett and if they DO mix in new recruits don’t they  give the newbies haircuts? Still I give this an A for effort and a B-plus for execution!

 

And lets not forget the first ever Star Wars fan film:
