Promos

A few years ago I was pondering the highly unoriginal idea that people love to sit around and quote lines from their favorite movies. And by “people” I mean drunk frat boys. No, seriously, lots of people do it. Except my parents. But I digress. I thought it’d be funny to do some promos based around ordinary people acting out scenes from their favorite movies. I knew a guy at AMC who I thought I could pitch it to. Additionally, I felt it could work on any network that showed movies (i.e. TNT, TBS, USA, TMC etc). Mostly I wanted to run around and shout direction at people. So over a week-end I grabbed a camera and with the help of about 1 and a half people, I shot the two spots above. My friend ended up leaving AMC so the pitch never happened. Luckily for you, an idea so brilliant it stands on par with ”magic shell” lives on here in all it’s celluloid glory. My gratitude to my fearless and funny actors: Vinnie Penna, Kelly McCallister, Shannon Thomason, Jamal O’Rear, Michael Monroe & Kim Monroe.
