My Teen Advisory Board  group worked really hard to create this mini-movie about Christopher Golden's Soulless. We hope to promote reading, our TAB and the library district with this project. The kids read the book and then picked out their favorite pivotal scenes. I put them into a working script and then we cast roles. The kids memorized their lines--most of them playing multiple roles--created their own costumes and everything was shot at the Smoky Hill Library.

One of my BFF's and co-worker, Sheena Allee, helped me create the zombie make-up and the district's video wiz, Bob Bennhoff, was our cameraman and video editor. (We even made the poor guy bleed for real!) It was an incredibly fun and challenging group project with $0 budget. I bought all the make-up and the bottles of blood myself. LOL.

If that wasn't work enough, the kids decided to learn Michael Jackson's THRILLER dance for the closing credits. They're completely self taught! Because of the aforementioned $0 budget, we obviously could not use the actual music, but I think you'll recognize the iconic moves and Bob picked some killer music for us.

I couldn't be prouder of this group. They give me the greatest joy. Please watch the video, leave a comment on the YouTube page and feel free to share it. I want the kids recognized for their committment, creativity and talent. :)



P.S. -- Mr. Golden himself saw the video and said, "Fantastic work, everyone! :) My sons and I were grinning the whole time."
