Have you read about these kids who did a shot by shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark? They re-did the movie with themselves as the actors and using whatever props were around. Pretty incredible.

Jump forward to these guys in their 30s and their movie is getting all kinds of press, partly I think because of the Jack Black/Mos Def movie where they re-shoot different movies. But also because they got props from Steven Spielberg!

Now they’re bringing their movie to the Hollywood Theater April 18-19. The cool part is all the money goes to a local charity called the Austin Miller Scholarship Fund at Film Action Oregon, a non-profit arts organization.

Austin attended their 2006 Project Youth Doc program and was killed in February 2008 while riding his bike. He was just 15. Just a few years older than the kids who made the movie.

Later,
Keith
