| "LOS BANDITOS 7: BO CASSIDY'S REVENGE" Callum Macdonald - Mothra Film Festival Short Film Camera Assistant, Co-Editor, Bit Part Actor Winner of Best Camera Operator Nominated for Best Costumes, Best Script, and Best Mothra 2005 The Mothra Film Competition at Otago University ran for almost twenty years until 2011, and for the 2005 event I was involved in two different films. One of these was Los Banditos 7: Bo Cassidy's Revenge - a take on a Western with a standoff showdown directed by Callum Macdonald. Callum shot the majority of the film on a small handicam for the event with basically a very simple story in mind, which we mostly expanded up and simply made up as we shot. When Callum had to appear on camera, one of us would take over the camera duty filming various shots each. We otherwise all appeared in the film in various roles (I played a Mexican during a couple of scenes) and just generally had a lot of fun running around a pub in the student area of Dunedin. Callum edited up the footage, and got me to give it a second look over which we then sat down and trimmed up some of the scenes and recut a couple, then added some music. Finally Callum and I named it, with him chosing the Bo Cassidy's Revenge part and me telling him it would be absurd if he made it the 7th film in like a serial western series that didn't actually exist. He agreed and ended up with us calling it the Los Banditos saga. The film went on to be nominated for four awards, including Best Camera Operator, Best Costumes, Best Script, and Best Mothra. It went on and won the Camera Operator award at the event.
