Small cast keeps film crew busy

Online: Hear Elizabeth Haley discuss the movie “1251.” Comment.
On the set of “1251,” everybody has to be willing to do everything.
With an average of seven or eight people on set each shooting day, that’s just a nobrainer.
“On the set of a movie this small, if you’re not on camera, there’s a chance you’re going to be holding the microphone or supervising the script,” said director of photographer Jon Lancaster. “Everybody has to be willing to do everyone else’s job.” This is evident with “1251,” the first feature-length film to be shot by Revolution Works, a production company based in Chattanooga. The film, described as a quirky, off-beat love triangle and a coming of age comedy, is helmed by the husband and wife team of producer Brent Haley and director Elizabeth Haley, both 22. It was born out of a 12-minute short film Mr. Haley wrote as a teenager.
“It’s a big deal to see something I wrote when I was about 15 come to light,” he said. “This is the first thing of this level that we’ve done.” Preparing to shoot a scene at the Marriott of Chattanooga on Sunday, the small crew discussed a scene in detail before filming anything. Mr. Haley was directing because Mrs. Haley, whom he revels in referencing as “my wife,” was featured in the scene being shot. Both have lead roles in the movie, as does Mr. Lancaster.
The budget for “1251” is roughly $12,000, a figure the Haleys put down out of their savings. They began the casting process in August and began shooting in May. They hope to premiere in Chattanooga in summer 2010. Revolution Works is in discussions with several distribution companies, Mr. Haley said, but declined to discuss any plans.
On Sunday, production assistant Britney Evit, 18, expected to be doing boom and sound work but was called upon to be in the scene, playing a waitress. Mrs. Haley fixed Ms. Evit’s makeup while acting sound operator Tonya Smoker took over boom work. The nonpaying job has Ms. Evit, who will enter Chattanooga State Technical Community College in the fall, doing a bit of everything, a job she said she is excited to have.
“I’ve always been into acting and film, ever since I was little,” she said.
Scenes from “1251” are scheduled to be shot at additional local businesses, including Smarthomes Chattanooga and Mojo Burrito.

Synopsis
1251 is about two guys in their 20's who are roommates. Matt (Brent Haley, God’s Colorblind) and Eric (introducing Tyler Mathis) have been friends since college, own a house together, and are in love with the same girl. Since they are both pretty lame guys, they don't know anything about her, not even her name. Because of this, they simply call her "Hot Coffee Girl."
One day, Matt comes home to find Theo (Brandon Michaels, The Last Chance) asleep on his roof. He invites him inside thinking that Theo is one of Eric's friends. When Eric gets home, they realize that neither of them know Theo. Theo informs them that he wants to room with them, and Matt and Eric, needing extra money, agree.
A couple hours and a few crazy shenanigans later, Matt and Eric have decided to kick Theo out when Matt discovers that Theo is Hot Coffee Girl's brother. He decides that this is his way in to her heart, and proceeds to convince Eric to keep Theo for a few weeks.
The rest of the story includes crazy meals, abnormal decoration, and embarrassing public endeavors on the path to winning the perfect girl's heart, and realizing what friendship really means.
This film is rated a comedy, and is considered family friendly in all aspects.
