Summer 2007 was a busy time for Miss Daisy. Not only have we worked hard to contribute vital assets to the President’s Circle project, but we have also been involved with the production of a full-length independent feature film. One of our student’s father’s, who also happens to be an independent filmmaker, was so inspired by our robotics program and his son’s involvement on the team that he decided to write an entire movie script revolving around a similar story line.
The production company, SD Digital Creations, naturally called on Miss Daisy to help produce the movie. With the generous help of NASA, community members, volunteers, and other FRC® teams, we turned our school’s gym into a movie set – complete with a fully operational competition field. Students, alumni, and mentors helped both in front of the camera and behind the scenes as extras, supporting actors, and technical advisors. The movie is scheduled for release in June and is to be shown in hundreds of theaters worldwide. Check out the movie’s web site here, photos from the shooting, or view the trailer below.
