"CHARLIE"
CRESTLINE CREATIVE ARTS FOUNDATION
FALL FILM CAMP 2005

Location - Shot around Lake Gregory, Crestline, California USA
Labor Day Weekend 2005
Synopsis:  
A teenager ("Brandon" - Brandon Hunsinger) tells a "true" urban legend to high school friends of  his finding a strange, glowing egg on  the shores of Lake Gregory as a youth ("Young Brandon" - PJ Veloff).  "Young Brandon" attempts to tell his family (Paul Veloff, Tracey Veloff and Melissa Veloff) but no one listens. The egg grows up to be "Charlie"  - who escapes when grown. There have been "strange disappearances" around Lake Gregory and Brandon again tries to explain, this time to Ranger Reggie (Reggie Bannister).  Of course, no one believes Brandon... until it's too late.

Unfortunately, the student director & lead player, Brandon Hunsinger, and several others are not shown. We're working on it.
We are also working on getting Charlie to view online. The students came up with the story concept and storyboards. Gigi wrote the script. Each student was matched with an adult mentor for their position on the cast or crew. The project was then shot on Cannon XLs over Labor Day weekend 2005.
Below is a list of the student and mentor cast and crew:
