CAREFUL WHAT YOU FISH FOR!

SNAPPER - A new low in independent film! No budget, no talent, and one mean turtle puppet take on the art of guerilla film making.

Way back in the early days of 2001, two friends discussed making a crappy home video about a killer snapping turtle. The idea kept creeping back into the mind of the friends, prompting one of them to construct a preliminary puppet out of tape, cardboard, and other items. Knowing there was never any real intention of completing the project, the puppet was created out of boredom. Two other friends, upon seeing the ridiculous puppet, were gung ho about being in the project. The result was SNAPPER.

Shot on VHS in a mere three hour period, SNAPPER was undertaken with no story, no script, and a total cost of five dollars. The result was an amusing short feature that takes nothing seriously. All who saw the footage responded positively.

Before the year was over, the group also shot SNAPPER - REVENGE. The friends tried to plan this one, thereby killing it. Though it lacks the fun spontaneity of SNAPPER, it has its moments.

The tapes languished for three years in the custody of their creator. During this time, they went through several primitive VCR to VCR editing attempts and were screened by several people. All who viewed SNAPPER had a positive response to the stupidity the friends had wrought. SNAPPER - REVENGE, as with all sequels, didn't capture the same bravado charm as its predecessor and remains a pale shadow.

This site is the dawn of the SNAPPER DVD, or VCD depending on the cash flow. It is hoped that this project can be completed by the fall of 2004.

Tentatively, it will contain the final edits of SNAPPER and SNAPPER-REVENGE along with the complete footage shot for each project.

Keep checking for updates!
