Background
Sister Jude had taken a lot of Super 8 film back in the late
60s and early 70s. We all looked like hippies back in
the day. A lot of it was backyard parties. I was thinking of
putting this in a film of some sort cause it would
be too boring to just look at it like a home movie.
I thought of the Woodstock documentary and bought a copy.
It was tough to watch (kind of dated) but there were
some good parts. It looked like I could blend in
our backyard clips with the Woodstock clips.
I used the dual screen setup that was in a lot
of the original movie. I wound up throwing everything in.
Some of it was a stretch but what the hell, the audience
(our old hippie friends) probably wouldn't be too discerning.
During the documentary, they interviewed some of the
townspeople that were being invaded by the hippies.
I had the idea that I could interview our friends who
are now old and could be substituted for
the townspeople in the documentary.
Sister Jude got the ball rolling by doing
some of the interviews. I wrote a lot of silly dialog.
Our friends didn't know why they were being interviewed
but thankfully were very cooperative.
We showed it at a Christmas party and everyone seemed to
enjoy it, especially the parts they were in.
