Sad 24 Hyd

How much do you really love film? Ever thought of remaking one in your garage? We’re bringing you a small selection of films from fans who’ve done just that. Showing once a month, we can’t promise they’ll always be free (sometimes we may ask for donations for the film-makers) but we can promise a wild ride of homemade homages, foreign remakes and shot-for-shot fanboy extravaganzas.

The Hunt For Gollum

UK/2009/40 mins/ctba. Dir: Chris Bouchard. With Adrian Webster, Arin Alldridge.

This completely unofficial, independently made film inspired by The Lord Of The Rings trilogy has gained thousands of fans online. It follows the Heir of Isildur as he sets out to find the creature Gollum. Using digital HDV cameras and shot in North Wales with a volunteer cast and crew, the film was funded by the filmmakers themselves on a budget of just £3,000.

+ Blair Thumb

USA/2002/30 mins/ctba. Dir: Todd Portugal. With the thumbs of Megan Cavanagh.

Steve Oedekerk, the writer of Bruce Almighty and Ace Ventura brings us a very special version of The Blair Witch Project made with the latest ‘digit-al’ technology.

These films have been curated with film-maker Steve Sullivan (www.stevesullivan.co.uk) and are screening as part of May You Live in Interesting Times Festival of Creative Technology.
