08.26.11 (LAS CRUCES) -- Local students are preparing to make their movie debut this weekend during the white sands international film festival. The event, which started Thursday, runs through Sunday.
New Mexico State University student, Andrew Jara came up with a movie idea as he was driving down a street in El Paso.
"It takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where a virus has killed the whole population and it has the two main characters, John and Michael, and it's about how they are trying to survive," said Jara.
"Last days," is Hara's first film and a movie he hopes will lead to a long successful career in filmmaking.
"Usually when I write its because I want to make a movie that I haven't seen yet and there has never been a realistic approach that I have seen of a Zombie film so, I tried to do that and focus on characters instead of can we kill a Zombie with an axe or something," he said.
"Last days," made its debut earlier this month at the Plaza Classic Film Festival in El Paso and is being featured at this year's white sands international film festival in Las Cruces.
"If you're cutting film, you can do as many times as you want to, but it's really a pain, but with digital technologies and cutting, we cut the same scene a thousand different ways if we wanted to," said William Murdock, editor of the film.
From the writing process to shooting and editing and post-production, the one hour-forty five minute movie took the crew about six years to complete.
"It's going to be cool for them to see what we can do with things that we just have around us because we had a small budget. We had a really cool camera which is the main thing that we spent expenses on, but it's cool that's its talent that was home grown," said Murdock.
Organizers with the White Sands International Film Festival say the documentaries; students shorts and other feature length films will be shown at either Cineport 10 or the Rio Grand Theatre until Sunday.
