Rough Theatre

The idea of Rough Theaters relates very closely with student films.  Rough theater to me is something that one is passionate about, who wants to get a message across by any means.  Given the budget for a lot of student and independent films, this is not always possible.  This gives films a more 'wholesome' feeling though, as an audience we can see the more creative choices the filmmakers use and it also gives a film a more unique aesthetic.  Although traditional Hollywood movies have become the norm for most of society I think there is a large audience who still appreciates the idea of these "rougher" films.  I'm excited to shoot our 3-d film next week with the idea centering around the ideology of rough theater.  We have built a blue igloo out of cardboard boxes, have a interesting array of cast members, and are sure to bring some fun with dialogue in our mockumentary.  At first I thought " why would we want to build a set with cardboard boxes?" But after it was built I can see how great this will turn out in 3D, just get ready for our terrifying monster on the big screen!
