Movie filmed in 24 hours profiles Cornwall
After playing to two sold-out shows at Galaxy Cinemas, John Earle and Frank Burelle' latest film, "86400 The Movie", is now available on DVD.
John Earle is a Team Cornwall member.
The film takes three cameramen (including graphic artist Ron Piquette) and four cameras through the city of Cornwall, Ontario, Canada, filming for 24 continuous hours (or 86400 seconds).
"The goal of the film was to get the message out about what kind of a place Cornwall is" explains Burelle, who places a strong emphasis on the city being the people who live there and not the buildings or landscape that make it great.
The two filmmakers from Cornwall set out to find the pulse of a city that has withstood economic hardships, public inquisitions, and slurry of negative connotations since the 1960s.
"The film is the journey of three men filming non-stop for a day - no script, no retakes - just straight ahead guerilla film making," adds Earle, who describes the movie as "a fun film about a fun place to grow up and raise a family".
On October 3rd and 4th 2008, over a period of 24 hours, the crew traveled from location to location, interviewing 31 people from varied backgrounds, including teachers, an artist, a politician, a fire fighter, children, police and many more. The interviewees were questioned on all aspects of life in Cornwall; the past, present and future, while not ignoring the ups and downs that the city has endured over the past century.
The resulting moments captured on film are captivating - and often surprising.
"What is interesting is that common threads and ideas emerged in our interviews as filming progressed", says John Earle. "Our efforts captured on film some truths that are at the heart of what Cornwall truly is".
Special DVD Features
The DVD of the film carries a number of special features, including The 25th Hour - an extra set of interviews with nine Cornwallites, including Mayor Bob Kilger and Team Cornwall chair Gilles Latour.
The DVD can be purchased in Cornwall at Life's Little Pleasures on Pitt Street, Serenity Studio on 4th Street or Cornwall and Seaway Valley Tourism on Water Street. The DVD can also be purchased online at www.FishRizzo.com.
