On Set of The Big Frozen Gumshoe - PBSC STUDENT FEATURE FILM

STUDENT FEATURE FILM INITIATIVE
Each year our department engages in the production of a feature film crewed entirely by current and former students. The goal of the initiative, which has been producing feature films since 2013, is to develop a feature film to compete in the festival marketplace and hopefully earn distribution. This is a tremendous opportunity for students to bolster their résumés with real production experience and reinforce connections with peers.

This film was made in partnership with the Motion Picture, Digital Animation & Recording Arts Department at Palm Beach State College, Lake Worth, FL

Detective Richard D. Dick (Gregg Goldsbury) is a 1940’s P.I. within spitting distance of unravelling a major caper. With Dick close to unraveling the next big clue, he’s frozen in time by a mysterious stranger.

Sixty-nine years later, Detective Dick defrosts in our strange technological world. With the help of his unwitting sidekick Kid (Braden Bullard) the defrosted detective reopens the cold case and is hot on the trail of new leads as the duo attempt to crack the biggest nut they’ve ever faced, the slightly absurd case of The Big Frozen Gumshoe.
