"All Night: The Movie"

Last night I had the privilege of attending the premiere of "All Night: The Movie" at the Egyptian Theater in downtown Boise. The film was created by Jacob Lyman and Kyle Sutton, and was filmed in Boise, Idaho with a budget of around $8000. I have known Kyle for some time now, and have seen this project grow. Congrats to both Kyle and Jake on a job very well done.

"All Night" follows a group of party minded youths on an adventure that takes them down many crazy paths. What surprised me most about this film was how well it captured the essence of Boise. It may just be because I knew a random handful of individuals involved (many that I knew from outside the movie, and was surprised to see included). If you have not lived in Boise, you cannot truly appreciate the "big small town" feel that it has. It seems impossible to go out and not bump into people that you know, and this film seemed to really represent that well.

I have not had many experiences within the "no budget" (films under $25,000) community, however I feel that this is a great outlet for aspiring film artists. Much work was put into this project, and it was shot over the coarse of two summers. All of those involved did it for the good of the project, and it is very apparent that all those involved cared about creating something special.

I look forward to seeing more projects from these two, and hope that "All Night" sees more showings and hopefully a spot in a film festival or two.
