2404 Films

We wanted to clean up the web server a bit so we moved all of the 2404 films to Google video. We figured that not only would it be beneficial to us but it would also be more convenient for all of our visitors.

Anders and Jaclyn Hallstrom put together a new short titled “Maciora.”

Description: A short film that portrays the journey and widsom of life and the effects one can have on another’s life.

A version of the film can be seen on YouTube or you can download it from us (40MB - right click, save target as).

Wired TV, produced by Sharlene Pereira, is a station based in LA that has broadcast a couple of the 2404 Films in its regular line up of independent, student, and foreign films! DVDs containing the season’s films are also distributed worldwide and it is great to see that our work is being spread around.

In this clip, you can see a highlight from The Agenda which shows Matt walking down a hallway at the High School.

Starting the year off early, two new films have been added: The Underground, and GReY.

GReY follows a young woman around through her normal daily routine but on this particular day something happens that will change her unscrupulous attitude.

The Underground is a documentary on five Iowa State University students who are more than proficient in their computer skills. A plot is contrived to take down a vicious group of madmen… will they succeed?

The films have been added to the 2006 Films page and are available to download there.

A short by Joe Clark has been added to the 2005 films. It features Ruth Kohtz, includes Dan B. and Drew Zimmerman and is a total of 30.2MB in size. Please visit the 2005 Films page to download and view.

We had an excellent time in Toronto and want to thank the people behind the festival for putting on the event. The list of results can be found at http://www.youngcuts.com/~demo/2005-awards/.

Our films were nominated in the following categories:
Best Foreign Film: The Agenda
Best Film: 19 and Under: The Agenda
Best Actor in a Leading Role: The Agenda - Matt Boyer

Unfortunately we didn’t win any of the categories we were nominated for but still greatly enjoyed partaking in the festival. We were told that our Pepsi commercial wasn’t considered most likely because the BMW logo was briefly shown. We also suspect that Assasination: La Vendetta wasn’t nominated because of the violence and fake firearms in it.

Anders will begin shooting a new film shortly in preparation for the next YoungCuts festival.

We have added the 2005 films to the movies page. The two new films are: The Agenda and a Pepsi Commercial. These movies and Assassination La Vendetta are submitted into the upcoming Young Cuts Film Festival in Toronto. We will be sure to post what happens at this festival which goes from Oct. 24 - 30. Both Dan and Anders will be in attendance.

Anders is working on a solo projected titled “The Agenda.” For info, images and a trailer please visit TheAgendaMovie.com. DVDs of the movie will be available to purchase from that website (or 2404Films) and a lower quality version of the movie should be put up online sometime later. The Agenda follows lead character “Matt Boyer” through is senior year of high school.

It turns out the International Teem Movie Festival has undergone some business changes, is under new ownership, and is now called “Young Cuts Film Festival” - YoungCuts.com which will be taking place on October 24-30th of this year. Assassination La Vendetta is still an entry in this festival and we look forward to its outcome.

Assassination La Vendetta recieved the Merrit award for the Minnesota Scholastic Art competition. I dont know a ton of details yet. The little awards banquet is in Feburary so I’ll find out a exactly what it was for and all of the details.
