 COMMENTARY

This was actually my first attempt at drama. Overall, I think it worked well. It's incredibly dated when I look at it now, but maybe less so since there isn't any dialogue. People don't usually notice the fade from color to black and white, which is kind of strange. Successful for its time, it hasn't really aged well...
-Alan Winston

 ON-SET DISASTERS
  • During the scene where Kent is hit with a truck, starting his 'dream', Jason thought it would be funny if he really hit Alan. Alan managed to dodge and only got clipped. Typical Jason behavior, I guess...

  •  CUTTING ROOM FLOOR
  • The original screenplay for this movie was actually quite dialogue-heavy, but it was all removed at the insistence of the COMM382 instructor. Looking back, it was probably a good idea.


  • Kent's dream
