FILMFELLAS : Opening Night 1997 Incredibly Strange Film Fest, St James Theatre
Loading...
Uploaded by senordeuce on Sep 15, 2010
This was a one day shoot, then crash edited on VHS with live inserts from the actual opening night. A mad fusion of Scorsese's GOODFELLAS and the Strange Fest, this tells the tale of putting on the fest and taking out the competition.
Features the IncrediblyStrange team in all their youthful acting glory (check out Mike's antipodean Joe Pesci). Also stars Chris Stapp from Devil Dared Me To as Spider. Andrew Thurtell nails Dylan Tate (RIP), who was at the time a goofy latenight presenter for TV3 and such a good sport, that he replayed his face stomp on network TV. Many of the gags here won't make much sense to those who weren't there but much of it still works. Marshall Applewhite had just led a suicide cult in San Diego and so he's in here too. I can tell you the slap on the face was brutally hard and the drugs may have been real.
There is some live foyer footage so people saw themselves only a few minutes ago up on the big screen.
Our beer sponsor that year was Red Stripe. Not sure why we pretended to poison all the audiences Red Stripe.
Trivia for completists only. Cookie who was playing Ray Liotta suddenly is replaced in the final live scene by my brother Matt. No one picked it up even though they don't look a bit alike. Cookie was doing the live edit in the mezz.
One thing we didn't even think about was the actual dummy Chris Stapp made and weighed a tonne snapping the line and dropping onto someones head in the stalls killing them. Just try and get away with that kind of stuff in any historic theatre in the world now. It was a loose time. A good time.
