I was an extra in this movie!


I've only actually seen the movie once as it's really hard to find. I was 18 at the time and grew up near where this filmed. I'm a background character in I think it's the opening scene, the fakeout where there's a bunch of teens partying by a small lake and there's screaming but it's only a couple playing around in the water... I'm a blonde guy fake drinking beer around a fire with a girl with long curly hair while all this goes on and the one time I saw the movie, I was on screen for like a second or two, lol..

my mother was a talent manager and always was sending me to movie sets for this type of thing, I was a day player on "dead poets society" as well tho I think my leg is the only thing that made it on film for that one (in one of the outside "soccer" scenes) while a friend ended up being one of the background kids in the classroom.

this movie was alot of fun, it was shot on a private country club in southern jersey in the fall by I think the troma people or at least people affiliated with them. I got paid 25 bucks and free food. it was a shoestring budget type deal but the production company was serious about their work and was actually shot alot more professionally than you might think for this type of schlock. camera's on dollies and cranes and all that...

years later, I walked into a student group home and found that one of the guys was a troma film buff and he actually had a poster of the movie up on his wall! talk about random!

I'd love to find a copy of the film somewhere, just as a lark. email me at [email protected] if you know where I might find this little gem!

Much thanks to Molly for emailing me a link to this movie on amazon!

I later found out that my friend who had the poster on his dorm room wall actually went to work for Troma, his name is Andy Deemer and he acted in a few Troma flicks as well as doing a few rewrites for "Tromeo and Julliet" and acted in, directed, wrote, and produced "Poultry in Motion"!

I'm glad his dream came true for him, lol... I just caught back in touch with him via facebook as well!

what a crazy, crazy world...

gotta love it!

cheers!

This used to show on HBO and/or Showtime. Fun movie with a very weird and relatively original idea.
