This is a movie I wrote, directed, filmed, and even had a bit part in. This was done for the 2000 competition of the National Children's Film Festival, but due to certain circumstances (certainly not the film quality), the film didn't meet the NCFF requirements. Still, I think it was good and I'm very proud of my film, so I want to show it off anyways.

Here's the background story: I first heard about the NCFF when I stumbled upon their website last February. I discovered that I had a little over a month left if I wanted to submit a movie for their contest. I immediately brainstormed some ideas. One of them was inspired from an awesome little kid I know who does this really scary thing that creeps me out more than anything. When I decided upon one, it only took me an hour to write up the script. Because I was also doing Alice In Wonderland at the time, I passed the script around to various actors whom I hoped would be interested. I got the actors I needed, and we set aside a date right after Alice In Wonderland was over to film.
The movie is about a kid who needs last-minute money to go to Hawaii with a friend, so he agrees to a last-minute babysitting job. He babysits two completely horrible children (Jillian and Kaitlin) who make his night a babysitter's worst nightmare. It was a lot of fun, and the only thing that exploits children more than this movie is Disneyworld.
