EHHS #10 - Macbeth PART 1

In the winter of 2008-2009, the students in the advanced film production class at East Hollywood High School undertook a monumental task: to adapt Shakespeare's Macbeth into a feature film. Each student in the class chose a crew position, such as Director of Photography, Production Designer, Gaffer, Producer, or Actor. They then took charge of their responsibilities and worked every day toward the common goal. With a budget of $400, and only two hours a day for three months for filming, there were many challenges. But as you'll see, it's pretty impressive what a bunch of kids can accomplish when they put their minds to it.

Starring: Hans Totterer, Chrissy Ellison, Jeremy Higley, Kirk Guthrie, and Ian Travis
Directed by: Brandon Arnold
