On New Year's Eve, in the final moments of 1999, Cecilia
and Chad decided to make a movie. For years they had been trying
to think of a project that their creative group of friends could work on
together. By July 4th of 2000, a team had been assembled and
production had begun on "Half Ass Jig" the movie. By August of
2000, as it became clear what a huge time commitment a project like
this would require, so many people dropped out of the project that
Cecilia and Chad's original roles of Producer and Writer, respectively,
expanded to include Director, Director of Photography, Actor, Script
Supervisor, Grip, Boom Operator, etc... At one time or
another during production they played every role they knew existed on a
set, as well as some roles they didn't know existed. As a
costume designer, Cecilia's attention to detail expanded to
include every thing in front of the camera, not just the actors, and
some became the film's Art Director before we knew what an Art Director
was.
Once the grueling production of "Half Ass Jig" was complete, the long
journey of editting began. The original editor had dropped out of
the project long ago, so Cecilia and Chad, on extremely limited funds,
began assembling the computer system capable of editing the movie.
It was over a year before could even begin editing the movie with
anything more than 2 VCRS. Since then many versions of "Half Ass
Jig" have been screened to audiences, extra footage has been shot, and
the comic strip adaptation has been published in the Boise Weekly.
But, the complete "Half Ass Jig" story, over 3 hours of chaos and
mayhem, was never available until May of 2006. Watch for it on
TVTV or order your DVD HERE.
