"Spectrum" - A Super 8 Film from 1976 by Glenn Rivera




This was a project for high school drama - there was a filmmakers competition and this was my entry. It won first place at Montgomery Jr. High School.




"Spectrum" is the story of a young girl who enrolls into a new school and is picked on by a bullying gang of girls until she loses it. This was long before the Columbine shooting - whatever that means.

I was lucky enough to have permission to bring a bee bee gun to school for the shooting as well as cooperation with students and teachers.

  2. Thank you, Loulou - yes. I was always mystified by the camera and movies. As a child of 6 (this is weird) but I lived across the street from a theatre and I used to watch them change the marquee every Tuesday night - I loved seeing he titles of the new films. So I used these magnetic letters on a board and created m own marquee. So I always loved every aspect of movies.

    Still do - but more retro. I have more movies to post. I was lucky enough to have had my parents buy me a movie camera and projector as a kid. I had lots of fun and so did all of my friends. They got to be stars.

    I wish you were closer - we could make some killer indie films!!! :) Glenn
