hello 240ers. First off, besides my passion for cars I have an equal passion for films. Are there any other filmmaking 240 guys on here??? I’ve done some car stuff and I plan do do more, but this film I shot is a WWII film. This is indeed a true “film” and not a video. I shot it on 16mm with a very old German ARRI camera. It’s slow paced but it pays off in the end. Please watch and tell me what you think. It’s obviously far from perfect. https://player.vimeo.com/video/8743296?app_id=122963 Poster I made for the film… ![http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs038.snc1/3319_80269511335_501266335_2199095_2734923_n.jpg](http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs038.snc1/3319_80269511335_501266335_2199095_2734923_n.jpg) production stills… ![http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2616/11/115/501266335/n501266335_2083092_6451971.jpg](http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2616/11/115/501266335/n501266335_2083092_6451971.jpg) ![http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2616/11/115/501266335/n501266335_2083089_6707580.jpg](http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2616/11/115/501266335/n501266335_2083089_6707580.jpg) ![http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2616/11/115/501266335/n501266335_2083090_8182154.jpg](http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2616/11/115/501266335/n501266335_2083090_8182154.jpg) https://player.vimeo.com/video/8743296?app_id=122963 ---

Is that song by Billy Bragg??? Sounds A LOT like him… (Sorry. I stopped watching right at 9 mins… Not a rolling credits kinda guy, lol) I really enjoyed the whole old school technicolor feel. Made me feel like I was watching an authentic old war movie. The narration was really well done to… Well done sir… ---

Friend of my family since before I was born. I agree, the movie tends to feel like it was actually shot in the 40’s. 16mm can look really vintage with the proper techniques. The camera I used was probably around when this film takes place. ---

I added some pictures to the original post. Yes, the gun is real and was really used in WWII along with almost everything else he’s wearing. Thanks for all the comments! ---

If it were to get made it would be the ultimate homage to Bullitt, but it’ll only happen if I can sell the script. It’s too big a film to attempt myself. I’m thinking of doing a teaser maybe and just shooting one scene. Thanks again for all the feedback! ---
