King of Harperville (1992)

This is a short film I made in 1992 when I lived in Kansas. The actors are my friends, and the whole thing was filmed on a VHS camcorder. 1992 was long before digital video was invented, and editing was a real challenge. This version is the only one I seem to have, and it was all run through a video processor which makes it look posterized, but I don’t think it detracts from the story. We all had fun making this together and I’m very pretty proud if it. I hope you enjoy watching it! :)
