Chris Gabriel is sooooo in love with the films of Ed Wood that he has set out to imitate the legendary director's style of cheap "cookie-cutter" films with his latest creation "S4". The film is a wonderful mix of cardboard sets a larger than life characters in a film about a male Marine who gets impregnated by aliens five years after the Roswell crash (Okay....alleged crash....sheesh!).
Here some the glaring praises Gabriel had to bestow on his idol:
“Ed Wood really believed in what he was doing. He took a tiny little budget from investors who didn’t want to make horror movies in the first place, some serious time constraints, and he poured his guts into that movie and everything else that he made."
“He didn’t let a little thing like his cast members dying hold him back from making his film. He found a guy who was the same height and kept shooting. Ed Wood absolutely believed in his movies.”
Here is the official synopsis for "S4":
July, 1947 The 509th Bomb Group, Roswell Army Air Force base intelligence office issues a press release stating that a "flying disc of unknown origin" has been recovered north of town. Later that same day, the commander of the US 8th Air Force issues a retraction, stating that the wreckage was actually a weather balloon. Oddly, most of the wreckage of the is shipped under armed guard to Wright-Patterson Air Force base for further study. Some of the "wreckage" was shipped via limousine to a lonely patch of desert outside of Las Vegas known as the Groom Lake Test Area. Once there, a group of unidentified individuals were escorted to a desolate area of the base, know as Sector 4, or "S4" for short. ...that was five years ago.
"S4" will get it's world premiere at the Rave Motion Picture Theaters in Las Vegas, Nevada (Not New Mexico!) on October 29th.
Oh, and bye the way, "S4" is a satirical comedy........in case you couldn't guess.
