The first feature film shot entirely on the @lumix G7 This project has been in the making for a while now. We started shooting this film a few years ago while many of us were still in high school. We had no budget and shot the entire 80-minute film on a Panasonic Lumix G7. After many delays in post-production we are proud to release our first feature film for free on YouTube. Final trailer for ‘Malady Rising’ premiering on August 9. Visit our YouTube channel “Peppermint Films” to watch the trailer in 4K.

Our goal was to create a fun little holiday short and we hope you enjoy it! “As the world eagerly awaits the dawn of the new millennium on New Year’s Eve in 1999, Susan, a worried high school senior, finds herself at a crossroads as she debates telling her boyfriend a secret that might ruin everything.” #shortfilm #newyearseve #newyears #filmmakers #independentfilm #studentfilm #studentfilmmakers #filmmakers #christmasfilm #christmasmovie #shortfilm #comedy #christmas #trailer #movietrailer #90s #1999 #y2k

💡QUICK TIP: How to create fake rain on a budget! Creating a rainy look within a budget is easy with this super simple trick! All it takes is a garden hose and a high pressure attachment from the hardware store. 🌧️ We’ve used this technique on two of our short films. A Laughing Matter and most recently on our upcoming short yet to be released. 🎞️ Check out last weeks YouTube video now to see how we do it! 🍿 **do not attempt without first waterproofing your equipment and any cables** #cinematography #cinematic #sandiegofilm #sandiegofilmmaker #sandiegovideographer #sandiegovideography #bmpcc #blackmagicdesign #aputure #filmmaking
