Sweet
Sweetroll's Baadasssss Spin was shot for the Austin Cinemaker
Coop's Reel of Fortune Film Festival, a fest of in-camera edited
films shot on one roll of Super 8 film. With a borrowed camera,
a handful of storyboards, and a few friends, Bob Ray set off
on one fine Saturday in February of 1997 to shoot the film.
A few hours later, it was in the can, or the box, as is the
case in Super 8. The budget including film, processing and shipping
totals around $35. It's cheap, easy and inexpensive, so go make
your own film!
