Star Trek by 70s Kids
Golden Age Film; Short Film (Drama) — Cape Cod, MA, USA
As a teenager on Cape Cod in the late 70's, Rob Hampton was obsessed with movies and, together with his friends, recreated the blockbusters that they loved using a cheap Super 8 camera he got for Christmas. Twenty five years later, as a director and editor in L.A (IMDB) he added music, sound effects & dialogue and even got some of his old friends to voice their original lines.
