The hidden/lost DVDs/tapes keep turning up. The latest is this parody of “Plan 9 From Outer Space,” shot by Meatloaf Productions for the 2009 St. Louis International Film Festival trailer competition. Another selection of ours was chosen, though this remains a fave (’til now) lost production.
Shot in 1997 on a Pixelvision camera (aka the Fisher-Price PXL-2000), these shorts feature a selection of South City’s special characters: Fred Friction and Mark Stephens (the Highway Matrons), Bob Putnam, Wayne St. Wayne, all captured in their natural environments of Mangia Italiano and the Way Out Club. Digitized 17 years after shooting.
Produced in 2009, uploaded in 2014.
“Old Dog, New Trick,” co-produced by Mike Steinberg, Jon Scorfina and I has been added to the popular video-sharing service, YouTube. You can watch it here:
The companion piece, “The Pride of Saint Louis,” will go live soon.
