Our Footloose Remake (found parody film; 2010)
Status: Lost
Our Footloose Remake is 2010 crowd-funded parody film and a collaborative effort between a variety of amateur filmmakers brought together by the film festival known as "Channel 101".[1]
Background
Development of the film originally began as a snarky response to Hollywood announcing an official remake to the 1984 film Footloose.[2]
The project divided the original 1984 film into 54 different scenes, giving each one to a different set of filmmakers who would recreate their given scene in their own unique way.[3]
Once all scenes were done, they were edited together into a complete film with the conflicting stylistic choices between scenes being used for comedic effect.
Channel 101 would later follow this up with "Our Robocop Remake", a response to the official 2014 remake of Robocop.[4]
Availability
The film premiered at the "Downtown Independent Theatre" in Los Angeles on July 1st, 2010 and later uploaded to David Seger's Vimeo account on 11th April, 2011.[5]
The film was later taken down due to a copyright claim by the "International Federation of the Phonographic Industry".[6]
All that remains of the film is a trailer are a handful of scenes uploaded online.[7]
