If you look closely at the prom poster, the details are the exact date and time and our slot at the film festival!

Joe left the poster up in the school after filming and everyone got excited about the All-American Prom. It stayed up for a term in a prime location!

HUGE thanks to Stems who gave us free roses to throw over Chris!

Those useless t-shirts took DAYS to make! Painting is not our strong point...

This film began when it was joked that Mhairi should make a film (having been in media club for 3 years and yet never having made her own film). And somehow, she pulled it off!

All of the background sets were designed from scratch by Jason and here are some shots of the spaceship's bridge and Spacebot's quarters:

The props budget for the entire Screenplay festival took a big hit when Harry bought the gold material for the excellent shiny costumes.

Thanks to the Shetland College for letting us destroy the college - we didn't actually ruin anything, which is a record for Maddrim...

This was filmed in an hour and a half.

We tried our darndest to make that pregnancy test positive, even considering asking a pregnant woman to pee on the test for us... we could say we didn't because we know when we're going to far, but we actually couldn't find a pregnant woman to ask.

This was originally a short story written by Roseanne!
