A movie making miracle

Two years ago Laura Lewis-Barr submitted one of her scripts to a Craigslist ad seeking a low-budget film script.  While the Glen Ellyn native was an award winning playwright, she had never worked as a screenwriter.  The script, "Cloistered Honey," was a two person comedy with minimal location needs.  The producer chose her script and an amazing film making odyssey began.  Lewis-Barr began a series of rewrites and then helped with the hunt for Chicago actors willing to work for possible future profits. 

Our producer had a dream but a very small budget.  Still, he was able to find locations and a crew who donated their time.  The small troupe drove to idyllic and remote Mineral Springs, WI for one week of filming (with one camera).  The artists believed in the script but could they possibly produce a viable full length film in a week? 

The group worked 12, 14, 16 hour days.  There was no time to watch any of the daily footage.  Would the footage work? 

 

You decide.
