Josh Becker’s “Running Time” highjacks the December 4th Mitten Movie Project beginning at 7:30 pm at the Main Art Theatre in Royal Oak.
Local Detroiter Director-writer-producer Josh Becker decided to shoot his fourth feature film, Running Time, both in real time and as one continuous shot.
It’s a technique that hasn’t been used in a feature film since Hitchcock’s Rope (1948).
Straying from the safety of a sound stage, he ventures out on location with his camera rolling.
A feat that intriguing to watch and makes a it seem like a live show.
The story pivots around and stars Bruce Campbell, local boy done well in Hollywood, as Carl just released from prison where he did five years for robbery, where he develops a plan that involves robbing a local front for the prison laundry operation.
His not-so-bright buddy Patrick (Jeremy Roberts) sets up the necessary elements for the heist, within minutes of his release from prison he sets the plan in motion.
Almost immediately on implementation, the plan starts to fail. Patrick has hired a junky, Donny (Gordon Jennison) to drive the getaway van, misidentified the model of the safe and in ultimate stupidity shoots an elderly guard during the robbery—then, things get bad.
Shot in stark black and white with a necessarily linear storyline that sums up the past as well as the present, the film moves quickly and deftly.
There are no cuts, the story is shot in real time as a continuous shot.
Check out Running Time at The Landmark Main Art Theatre
