But the movie that was wrapping up on March 17, is no ordinary film, and the filmmakers are no ordinary movie mavens. The three discovered that they shared a love of movies and an interest in making one of their own. Andres says Knies and Andrews are more interested in the technical side of filmmaking, while he prefers to concentrate on the acting. He wanted their enthusiasm and creativity working for him, he says, and he also wanted to give the two Hollywood hopefuls something significant to put on their resumes. They did a great job.
Kids never get representation.
Both Knies and Andrews jumped at the chance to build on their movie-making experience by helping film a movie on 16 mm film. They have been working almost every day since early October, clocking hundreds of hours for a movie that will end up running less than an hour, Andres says. They started filming in early February, and now all that remains is editing the footage. Knies and Andrews are being paid only with their names in the credits and the experience they hope to gain. That's worth far more to them than mere money.
