It's 1978 ~ Take Couple of Twelve Year Olds & a Super 8 Camera

...and get an epic film.

SHARK


Production Note: Apparently the shark sank during it's first appearance, resulting in a disembodied fin slicing through the roiled waters for the rest of the movie.

Hahaha, it's brilliant as a silent movie!

Honestly ~ they were little geniuses.

(With indulgent parents, because the piece I read on it said it cost them $20 development fees for every 3 minutes of film time.)

Moviemaking at it's finest - simple plot, engaging characters, small cast, a fin and six wigs... And at the end, no credits. Just put the lens cap back on.

I wish with all my might that I had done something like this when I was twelve. And the sound effects! CHOMP!
