The Neighbor

Synopsis:
The man next door is waiting.

Film Notes:
Emptyv.org's first official film production. Shot in the month of November and finally completed sometime after March. "The Neighbor" is a B&W noir short, shot on Super 8mm film. This was our first attempt at working with motion picture film. On a budget of about $500 dollars and a small camera bought at Savers for only $5. Little did we know the light meter inside the camera was broken. After two days of shooting and sending our film in to get processed the result was... nothing. Everything was underexposed. Realizing this, we managed to re shoot the picture with lots and lots of new lights. Reorganizing the cast and crew and spending more money on film and processing, we finished it. See the results of "The Neighbor" mach 2, available on emptyv.org.
