RealLab spent a late Thursday night filming at University of Chicago’s Doc Films during the closing evening of their Cinevangelism series.
We were stoked. Stoked that someone else is as fascinated as we are by these films.
Well you can read it in the morning papers
Hear it on the radio
Crime is sweeping the nation
This world is about to go
We need a good old case of salvation
To put the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
That’s curator and projectionist Becca Hall humming along to that Ronstadt tune while splicing Rock: It’s Your Decision to Test of Faith.
We thought that was pretty rad.
We also wrapped up filming in Iowa where we toured Russ Doughten pictures, met the man himself and then had a chat with Don Thompson about his new theatrical project in play with partner Arthur Bauer. Bauer and Thompson are both alums of Iowa Public Television and had been through the indie gauntlet. Doughten who had been through the Hollywood ringer, had amazing stories about the Molten Monster which you may now know as The Blob. Which turned out of course to be a silicon mold on a wooden table that could flipped and manipulated. Hooray to special effects departments everywhere, but onto Christian cinema– A Thief in the Night cost $60,000 to make and returned $15 million. In this photo– Mr. Doughten is holding up a distribution chart (handwritten) from the 1970s that got so huge, they had to tack on graph bars to the paper.
