Deep in the suburban sprawl Wimpy Wimperson had a very large problem. A mutant 8th grade giant who Bullies him everyday. Much too small to resolve the situation himself, Wimpy endured his large problem alone. Why wouldn't anyone help him?
Hero is a feature length movie that is being produced by the Mosaic Middle School Ministry (a part of Elmbrook Church). Through the eyes of actual Christian students caught up in the everyday life of Middle school. The movie will explore themes of peer pressure, bullying, popularity, gossip, justice, and what in the world it means to follow Christ in middle school.
Here is what you need to know if you want to be involved!
There will be an informational meeting Tuesday (June 10th) night @ 6:00 for all who are involved and desire more info. (This is recommended for all participants, but not required. At this meeting we will have copies of the final script available for people who want to see them, and we will answer any questions that parents or students involved may have. We will also spend a little time praying for our efforts.)
1. Please be at West Suburban Middle School from 8am – 6pm June 16 – 18. If you are only able to be there for some of the time, please notify us immediately so we can plan accordingly.
2. Bring something to do with you, as there will be some downtime between shots as well as some shots that do not require all of the cast. Feel free to bring cell phones, iPods, games, etc.
3. We will provide lunch, but if you want lots of candy and other snacks, you might want to bring your own stash.
4. Also, please bring with you two outfits. The movie covers a 24 hour period of time that will require each cast member to have a “Monday” / “Tuesday” outfit... These outfits should be just whatever you would normally wear to school... It might be helpful to bring a few extra options the first day just in case we want to modify your look a bit. Also, it will be really important that you accurately remember your two outfits, so they are consistent throughout the days of shooting. Often shots are out of sequence from real time so that you may have to change back and forth a few times each day.
5. BRING your backpack, and some folders / books to make it look authentic.
6. You must fill out a HERO release form to participate.
7. YOU MUST NOTIFY JNG immediately if you have not already told us you are participating!
