Here's how it works: Each filmmaker chooses one roll (50 feet) of KODAK Super 8 film. Tri-x (black & white) Plus-x (black & white) Ektachrome (color) Vision 200 (color negative) Vision 500 (color negative). The filmmakers shoot their films in order, in other words, all editing and cuts that are made, are made IN CAMERA. There are no splicers used. To make sure of this, the filmmakers turn in their "unprocessed" film to Flicker. Flicker hands the film over to Yale film and video for processing. The films are then transferred at Yale to digi-beta for viewing on the large Egyptian screen. The films are transferred for best color and contrast - NO EDITS or CUTS are made within the content of the film. The filmmakers give flicker their music, soundtrack, soundscape which will be orginal scores created for their film. The sound is started with the first picture, so if it works it works. It's all up in the air, like life, everyday a surprise. You never know what you're going to get. And that's the way it is with the daring and nervous filmmakers awaiting this year's ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT REELS

Josh
Barash
(v-2)
"Café Annoyé"  I made the film like most now a day, around the special effects. I knew the effects I wanted to do, so I built a story around a place someone could get bothered often, a café. Photo: Close-up of actor Michael Pachelli with his eyes painted. Contact: jb_projects@yahoo.com |
Kent
Hayward
(ektachrome) "Sunset to Sunset" Kent Hayward is a teacher and independent filmmaker living in Silverlake who encourages walking in Los Angeles. This film is a time-lapse walk across LA starting at Sunset Junction in Silverlake, down Santa Monica Blvd. to the beach. The walk took from sunrise to sunset. All sound is from the same route. Remember to always wear comfortable shoes. |
Josh
Greenbaum (v-2) "this is...Howie Rowle" This is the story of Howie Rowle, an average roller-skater with a below average chance of finding love...until now. Written, directed, shot, and scored by Josh Greenbaum, this film marks Greenbaum's first foray into the world of Super 8mm film. website: www.joshgreenbaum.com email: joshgreenbaum@mac.com |
Martin
Blasick (v2) http://www.martinblasick.com/Martin Blasick is a composer and songwriter and is often found in the online forums of indieclub and filmshooting.com. |
Randy
Caspersen
(v-2) "California Apples" An homage to the beautifully baffling world of student film and a tribute to experimental cinema pioneer Maya Deren. Shot with a cast of delicious apples, assorted glass objects and two handsome men, one question begs to be asked: What the hell does it all mean? |
Annie
Fair, Dean Micetich
(tri-x) "50† For Extra
Special Wishes"This is certainly our homage to the Wim Wenders’ classic, Wings of Desire. We decided to shoot in Berlin while I was visiting Dean for a few weeks. We shot on b&w with a borrowed camera, and we were greatly focused on finding a story that led us to the golden angel from the film. Funnily enough, our final product was similar to Wenders’ in that we wanted to show what we loved about Berlin, but we didn’t have a story to tell beyond capturing the images we loved. I’ve been told “you can’t push the river”, and truly, once we eliminated the necessity of “story” the film organically became a beautiful and fun thing to make. This is our film that, despite our best efforts otherwise, became our personal story in Berlin and a collage of our favorite things about our neighborhood in Mitte. Weeks later still in Berlin, Dean went in the studio with his friends and wrote the soundtrack on which he plays all the instruments. |
Gabriella
Karolys
(v-2) http://www.myspace.com/bitchesbruise In the middle of the city where the only thing that reeks is piss. In what seems to be a lonely part of town the city spits out what it hides. Trouble is brewing between the "Slutty Monroes" and "The Slicksters". Armed with what ever the streets are ruthless enough to throw out. These hussies are armed and dangerous. Written-Directed-Shot by Gabriella Karolys, she has just completed her first feature, Elwood Carlilse Superstar <http://www.elwoodsuperstar.com/> |
Erik
Deutschman
(v-2) "Stare Gently"  Follow the film's instructions and (hopefully) take a phantasmagorical journey into the realms of cosmic reality. Erik is an LA based filmmaker who dreams of living on a faraway mountain making kitsch craft items for local souvenir shops. |

| Kimberly
Grisco
(tri-x) "the Emotional Type"  As native to Los Angeles, I dreamed of making my own movie and this is my big Hollywood chance! My film is an homage to all my mentors. No, Man Ray, Andy Warhol, Wim Wenders, and Hans Neleman won't be attending but their soul, influences, and aurora will. This B&W short features actress Janene Willis (Close Encounters of the Third Kind) and in his first appearance, actor Jonathan Kananrek. The hardest part of this film for me was creating the soundtrack with the help of my Garage Band teacher Norwood Cheek, my father's typewriter, and a loaned keyboard I was able to create a fresh piece. This 3:20 minute film had both actors shot in stop animation with props including a typewriter, pieces of paper, and glass tears, expressed their thoughts and actions through flights of type and paper. Their thoughts were sent into the air via typewriter and mouth and delivered in forms unimaginable but yet understood. Is this a love story or a love hate one? You decide. |
Tommy
Bernard
(tri-x) "THE NEW TENANT" is a film that celebrates the fine art of people-watching, focusing primarily on the mundane. Written and directed by Tommy Bernard, who is continuously inspired by the work of Jerry Lewis (as director). He continues to hold low-level jobs within the entertainment industry. |
Matthew
Stevens (tri-x) "les miserables"  We all have our opiums, though many times we do not realize it until the source is disrupted. Dealing with the loss will bring terror first and vision second.

Attack of the 50 foot Reels #1
October 30, 2001
| 2001 = 25 filmmakers shot one roll of Super 8 film. Edited entirely in camera. The films were handed over to Flicker for processing at Yale Lab. The night of the screening was the first time ANYONE saw the films - even the filmmakers. There was a lot of tension in the air, each filmmaker hoping for an in focus, well exposed film. The results? Incredible. Some of the best Super 8 films we've seen at Flicker. Look for another 50 ft reel attack each year. |
