Trailer for the upcoming movie — smalltown.

VJ Day was Exile Movies 48 Hour Film Project. It was originally titled “Made In Japan” and premiered at the Providence Rhode Island 48 Hour Film project in 2007. Made In Japan won “The Best Use of Rhode Island” and was included on the Best of Providence DVD.

VJ Day is a holiday still celebrated in Rhode Island. Only RI celebrates the holiday as most states find it incredibly inappropriate to celebrate the dropping of the H-bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

This film was shot for the 48 Hour film project and had many problems during the shooting including but not limited to: burst lights, exploding microphones, drunken cast and crew members, and other problems one can expect when you shoot in an open bar in 100 degree weather. It is neither a great technical achievement nor a storytelling high, however, we worked hard on it and we should be able to watch it.

With no more further apology, I present to you…. VJ Day.
