Graham and Les work the midnight shift at Alaska Klondike, a 24-hour coffee shop. They're on the last shift before the shop closes for a holiday, and out of boredome they decide to steal the money from the safe and the register. Only problem is that once they have the money, customers keep coming in, and one of them won't leave...
This was the first major CMX Pictures project to be shot on Super 8MM film, and the only one to date to be shot on colour 8MM. Due to filter issues and time constraints in post-production, the picture quality suffers, especially in insert shots. To help with possible confusion, these are the insert shots that are difficult to see:
5:27 - a bag of candles
7:10 - biscotti
12:12 - small bag of heroin (later picked up by the cop)
This is the most recent of my film school projects. Since the film lab screwed up I got it back the day before it was due, so I only had 18 hours to copy to the computer, render, edit, sync sound, colour correct, and finalize everything, but I still got it done. Now it's online for all to watch.
