Out in the Street Films

What if your neighborhood was occupied by a U.S. military force in an effort to find "terrorists"? What if they bombed out your street and your children were killed or maimed in the process? What would you do? What do you think the Iraqi and Afghan people should do?

Eight-ish is the story of a young man about to celebrate his 21st birthday by throwing a party and inviting all his friends, including one ex-girlfriend and one new girl obsession. But, it turns out they have a few plans of their own.

This film was produced mainly by one man, Jon Raymond, handling all aspects including producing, directing, photography, sound, lighting, and editing. He had production assistant on two of the 7 shoots, but handled the other 5 days alone, relying a lot on the actors to do their parts well.

The original story writer and co-screenwriter, Gus Sacks, and the musicians, Kelley Vice, Brian James Weber, and Kevin MacLeod were all found online and collaborated mostly by email and have never met the director in person. With the exception of Kevin MacLeod, whose website offered his music royalty free, they and the director were all members of Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope.com virtual film studio, where Jon Raymond found Gus's original short film script, Eight-ish, and the musicians' music.

This is one of the first films to be produced through the Zoetrope Virtual Studio.
