Spirited Ridiculousness
With Halloween just around the corner, we were hoping to find a holiday-specific Jewelboxing project to mark what is arguably the best holiday of the year. Fortunately, our hopes were realized as we caught word of creepy goings-ons in the Orlando suburb of Kissimmee, Florida (which, of course, has been regularly renowned for its "Very Spooky" listing in most national rankings). The purveyor of said horrors is one T.C. Durham, who was kind enough to take a break from his telling of ghastly tales to share with us his most recent project, the long-awaited sequel in his Trick No Treat film series. Here's a description of the film:
"Zack (Tyler Zwick) returns to his home town and discovers the worlds last remaining ghost. Zack soon realizes that he must enlist the help of the old gang (T.C. Durham, Mike Chandler, Jacob Wilder) and kill the ghost before the ghost kills them!"
And here's from T.C. about the project:
"Trick No Treat 3 is probably the most ridiculous project I've ever done. It's random, offensive and over the top. It's basically Ghostbusters on crack.
"Trick No Treat started out as a short video intended to entertain guests at a Halloween party. For the first movie we had nothing. We had no budget and a low-quality camcorder. Now working on TNT3, we've upgraded to a high-definition camcorder and Final Cut Studio.
"We were worried that we would make this great movie and have to distribute it on the crappy CD cases you get at the drug store. Then, I discovered Jewelboxing (intro hallelujah chorus). With Jewelboxing's sweet King cases, we were able to preserve the quality of the movie from beginning to end.
"We're not professionals, we're not art kids. We just wanted to make people laugh! The whole movie is one ridiculous event after another. But what I've learned from the few people that have screened our movie is that people are impressed when you take being funny seriously."
A big spine-chilling thanks to T.C. for sharing the project with us and here's to hoping hairs are raised and blood is curdled this week in Mt. Pleasant, Santa Monica, Louisville, New York, Singapore, Colorado Springs, Tacoma, Atlanta, Bolingbrook, Idaho Springs, Stevenson Ranch, Hagerstown, Toronto, Lubbock, Springfield, Long Beach, Houston, San Luis Obispo, and Amherstview.
