Decatur High Students Filming Around Decatur
Decatur Metro | July 7, 2010The answer to what was filming at Sammiches n’ Stuff a few days back is news in itself. From DHS student Ben Lambeth…
I’d like to announce the production of “Confessions of Vengeance.” Completely written and directed by recent Decatur High School graduate Ben Lambeth, and produced by fellow graduate Marcus Matkins, this short action film follows Frank, an ex-gangster who must return to his mob family in order to avenge his sister’s death.
Over the past week, a cast consisting of many stars from DHS’s production of “Hamlet” and nearly a hundred local volunteers have worked day and night in locations such as Kudzu Antiques, Sammiches N’ Stuff (which one Decatur Metro reader seems to have spotted), and locations in Avondale Estates to get the project shot. We are expecting to wrap up production before the end of July.
To follow the movie’s production, I’ve set up a Facebook page, and a website is in the works:
With the magnitude of this project, I can safely say this is the biggest locally-produced student film to come out of Decatur in history.
Wicked.
Well done!
I hope there is a massive, outdoor screening somewhere local…
Ditto. Yay Ben! I am wondering if you were inspired by being part of the 3rd grade and/or 5th grade theater productions that Westchester used to put on so well. I don’t know why but they didn’t survive the transfer to Clairemont, Oakhurst, or Glennwood even though all three schools have a stage. (Or does Oakhurst?)
