Firelight (1964)
Es la primera exposición comercial de Steven Spielberg, la cual estreno en el pequeño teatro de Phoenix, en Arizona, a la edad de 18 años.
Su papa le dio a el 500 dolares para hacerla en un año , alquilo el teatro por una noche donde sus hermanas vendian entradas a un dolar . El filmo la pelicula en los fines de semana con actores que consuguio de una universidad . A veces se quedaba hasta mas tarde en la escuela solo para editar la pelicula .
Y si .... todo esto antes de Encuentros cercanos del tercer tipo
Spielberg compuso la música para Firelight la original, en su Clarinete. La madre de Spielberg, pianista transportó la musica al piano y escribió las partituras , así la banda de la High School secundaria de Arcadia realizó la musica para la película.
Fragmento de una entrevista a la hermana de Spielberg (Nancy Spielberg)en que se habla sobre la pelicula
MarketSaw: What was it like making Firelight with Steven as a kid?
NS: Firelight was my brother's first big film that won him his first award, I think, as a teenage filmmaker. I was about 7 or 8 at the time. We grew up in Arizona--it was about 110 degrees, there was nothing to do except go to the library and take out books, and we didn't really want to do that. So my brother would make films and he would get all of his high school buddies, and I don't know how my mother allowed it, but she allowed him to turn our house totally upside down into a set. Not only that, but he was too young to drive, so she had to be the driver in certain scenes. So that's what we did one summer. My sister and I did special effects, and my other sister was his script girl and had to get punched in the arm all the time. I was an actor in the film, and my sister was also an alien. So we did everything we had to do. And it was a cool experience. It was a lot of hard work, but the fun part was--way back then being directed by Steven Spielberg, you know, was a pain in the ass, because I had to die, and I was a little girl crawling in the grass and there was this throbbing light force, which was this alien force that was coming from another planet, and he said, "look up and reach for it." The sun's right there, and it's Arizona, it's hundreds of degrees, and I'm squinting, and he says "stop squinting!"(laughs)
MarketSaw: So you were living in Arizona at the time?
NS: Yeah, we grew up in Arizona. I was about 6 months old, my brother was about 10, and we spent most of our formative years there growing up in the desert. There was nothing there...It was early early, with Indian reservations, and that was it. No air conditioners!
MarketSaw: It sounds like you had a great backdrop for the film...
NS: It was great! He did a lot of war films, a lot of Cowboy and Indian things in the desert, and Firelight we did all over the place.
MarketSaw: Was your character abducted?
NS: I was actually disintegrated and moved to another planet. There were blue and red firelights. One color disintegrated living objects, the other inanimate objects. The aliens from another planet literally took us, and put us on a different planet. They took over our brains, almost like Invasion of the Body Snatchers. So, yeah, I just had to crouch, crawl in the grass, and leap towards this pulsating light because I was a curious little child. I was squinting, and my brother kept saying, "stop squinting!", "open your eyes!" I was going blind because the sun was right in my eyes. So you couldn't say no to me. So he got his shot.
MarketSaw: Did you go to California when your brother shopped the film? The story I heard was that he gave a reel or two of the film to a producer as a sample, and that this producer closed down shop and disappeared with the reel.
NS: That's a good question, I don't even know for sure. I think one reel is lost and Steve has the rest. I'm not sure who has the missing reel.
MarketSaw: Is the film commercially available?
NS: No, but it should be! Maybe one day. I know they've shown little clips of it, in "this is his life" type documentaries...but it's never been available.
