Hi Taem,
We did something similar last year, at the cottage. A generation ago, some of my husband's friends made a couple of outright terrible movies with a bunch of the cottage neighbours. "Jaws III" and "Loose on the Bruce" are now treasured collectors items for a select group in our cottage community, as the backdrops are of our cottage community in the '70's and some of the cast is no longer with us.
So last summer, one of my sons decided to have a go at a new movie. "Pike Bay Zombies" is, to be blunt, awful. The writing isn't bad and the editing isn't bad but the acting and production quality are dreadful. However, the backdrops are wonderful. And a wonderful time was had by all participants.
There are loose plans to make a prequel this coming summer.
Projects like this can and have been a very binding community experience. Here is hoping you have a lot of fun with your next project.
