THE GHOSTS
LOVE LOVE LOVE
Shortoftheweek:
Subtitled “A Teenage Fever Dream”, L.A. based filmmaker Eddie O’Keefe, mines 50′s nostalgia similarly to Grease, but with more of an edge, and a little of the…supernatural?
13 minutes long, this is one of those film that flies by while frequently putting smiles on your face. Shot using an HVX, through post-processing they’ve managed to mimic the look of 16mm reversal film, which, when coupled with old school looking titles and really impressive set, costume and prop design, really throws you back into that bygone era.
The story is one of love and suburban ennui. A pretty girl has the interest of the popular jock, but his attentions and the domineering religiosity of her household only exacerbate her growing desperation. Enter: THE GHOSTS.
