PASSION - the best 60 second film ever
Peter John Ross Peter John Ross is offline February 22nd, 2004, 12:43 PM

A PASSION FOR FILMMAKING

http://scottspears.net/video/passion.mpg

This is the best 60 seconds I've seen in a long while. Shot 16mm by Scott Spears, and written/directed by John Whitney. The film answers the question "what does a director do in their spare time?"

Hahaha, nice.. something tells me if there was ever a 'Jackass' made by filmmakers, it would be something like that.

I love John WHitney's directoral style. Very dry wit.

Hey Peter,

Where is Hollywood, Ohio? Does it have a big sign marking it?

No, it's a suburb of Wadsworth Ohio.

The Hollwood sign here is on a small hill next to the Luthern Church. It was made by the Amish.

EXCELLENT...

although,

I think Scott could have held out for a little more of a nuance from the cemetary bust!

I thought this was definitely funny. Seen a lot of stuff similar to this, but it was still funny. I felt like there should have been a bit more. I think overall I felt like it wasn't carried out as far as it could have been.

But I definitely got a laugh out of it!

Even though I've seen it several times now, I still get a chuckle out of it.

Made me giggle. The B&W clips seemed a bit blurry to me, but hey it's fun.

Also, for a second there I thought your signature was a link to www.sonnybono.com but.. I read it too fast, haha.

That was funny! If the ASC Store ever wanted to run an ad, this would be it!

Thank you for sharing it with us. I know I really needed the laugh today.
