SHANK part 2 of 4

Transferred from beautiful 16mm to BetaCamSP, then digitized for upload, we've resurrected this oldie but goodie. Filmed on a shoestring, credit-based, budget in 1995 with a fully unpaid cast and crew, Shank was a lot of fun to shoot thanks to that corps of volunteers. We push-processed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_processing) the film and set it out of synch to pay homage to the look of 1970's exploitation films. Though I probably wouldn't make something like this again, it'd be great to have time and budget to shoot some longer form independent films. In addition to our core group of J.R., Stalnaker, and me, Shank owes its existence to dozens of people who helped out at UMBC and in Baltimore proper, but especially Skizz (http://www.skizz.net), who has screened it a lot, and did all the scoring for the film. Thanks Skizz! Also, big kudos to Jason Koch who handled special effects, and of course to James Brown-Orleans, for contributing so much to this old movie.
