Filmmakers exploit disaster in the '70's



There's a retired Hollywood guy who lives in the area. My sister went to a garage sale at his house and bought a large reel of 16mm film. There's no sound. It appears that some young people tried filming a nuclear apocalypse survival movie.

They filmed in a neighborhood that had been wiped out in a wildfire. A group of hippies wander through the area. We see them running from something. A helicopter flies past in the distance. They filmed a kid playing basketball in a burnt out cul-de-sac for some reason. I can't imagine anything came of it. It wouldn't have been any good if it had.

But it's something to keep in mind next time there's a horrible, horrible disaster.
