Silk City Flick Fest: Four Days Of Steampunk, Horror, Gambling
When Keith Rocheleau was studying video editing at Manchester Community College, he made a short crime drama. After graduating, he bought himself a video camera to make a full-length movie, and looked no further than his own previous creation.
“I’m a huge action movie, crime movie fan,” says Rocheleau, 28, of Coventry. “Any kind of action movies, ‘Lethal Weapon,’ Quentin Tarantino, that’s what I like to do.”
He and his friend, Michael Balesano, spent a year reworking the script and then cast the movie, giving Balesano the leading role in “Kings & Nines.”
“We got some actors through ctfilmspace, but all of the main characters were just people I knew who were really into movies, friends, family members,” Rocheleau says. “Our budget was pretty much nothing. I wrote down $200, which was the amount I spent on tape stock and prop guns. All the actors were unpaid. It was a labor of love.”
