After watching Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1982, three middle school students began filming their own shot-by-shot adaptation of the film. It took them seven years to finish it. Now it is on tour, almost 20 years later.
I showed parts of this film to my class to inspire them. Many have created short films on their own and could really appreciate a student film that was almost 2 hours long. And created without a computer.
There is a showing of the film in Boulder tonight, but I can't make it and a student lecture the following day.
