Nuclear Waste - JJH Productions

Jesse Jame Hennessey, a local filmmaker and super cool dude, has asked me to assist a bit with his submission for the Straight 8 Film Competition. The limits of the competition are simple> Straight 8 sends you one roll of Super 8mm film and you make a one-take film.  No editing, no sound wizardry, no SFX! Challenging and Fun

Nuclear Waste has been in the planning stage for several weeks and Jesse and the team have made a few dry runs but last Saturday (3-19), the whole gang showed up for a few hours of blocking, camera choreography and practice runs. It's fair to say that we had a blast.  If you happen to see a few cans of PBR in the images ... those aren't props!

Take a look at the wonderful folks we've assembled!
