Buster Keaton lives on

2 min

How to Be a Filmmaker (Short Film) A banana, a pie, a pink elephant head... and a vintage football? In this surreal, slapstick whirlwind, three chaotic 'Penistone Round Table' Volunteers stumble through the absurd but heartfelt process of How to be a Filmmaker. With tips from Keaton Talmadge, the great-granddaughter of Buster Keaton himself, “How to Be a Filmmaker” breaks the fourth wall and all the rules in a riotous crash course on creativity, all leading to the big screen at the Penistone Paramount Theatre. Funny, fast-paced, and lovingly bonkers. Screenplay by Jennifer Bulcock Shot & edited by Shaun Stone-Riley Credits; Voice Over Keaton Talmadge PRT volunteers: Jon "That Jon" Gilbert Zak "Zag" Davis Chris McKenzie Projectionist / Conductor Brian Barnsley Stressed Crew member Jennifer Bulcock BTS - Calum Auckland Drone shot - Mickey Moo
