Hello,
My name is Kevin and I'm working on putting a fanfilm project together. It's going to be called "Star Wars Freeway" and it'll be about a guy who's stuck in traffic, and escapes by daydreaming that he's flying an X-wing down the freeway. From there his daydream more or less recreates the Death Star assault, albeit traveling down I-5. I first got this idea when I realized how easy it would be to take stock footage traveling down the freeway and insert spaceships. Here's one little experimental shot:

At the least we'll be needing a few stormtroopers, TIE fighter pilots, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Han and Chewbacca, Rebel pilots, and probably there will be room for lots more characters and creatures.
While I live up north in Puyallup, my younger brother lives in Vancouver WA and we could set up our green screen studio there for filming, where it's closer to you. Filming can be done over time as availability and scheduling works out. It's going to be a labor of love, I'll be paying the expenses out of my pocket.
My brother and I previously did this Star Trek parody:

So whoever is interested in being a part of it, please reply here or email me at k.schmadeka@mindspring.com . I also welcome the actors to share ideas for what you'd like to do with your characters, I'll use whatever I can. Knowing what sort of characters, costumes, and props are available will help with getting it scripted. If anyone has built any sets, especially cockpit sets, we can sure make use of that too. Assuming it happens we hope to film this summer. Look forward to your replies!
