The Premiere of NIGHT, the Movie

During this year's ARRL Field Day, a visitor from John D'Aquino's Young 
Actors Workshop arrived at the Edmond Amateur Radio Society's location. 
Marcus Sutliff, N5ZY, talked with them and found they wanted to make a 
short film with an amateur radio plot, and they needed some help. They 
were filming in Stillwater, OK, and needed someone with film/video 
experience and someone who could be a technical advisor. So, they got 
Kevin O'Dell, N0IRW, involved, and in no time, he had assembled radios, 
props, consulted on the script, and was ready for a long day of filming.

The purpose of this film is to give young aspiring actors a chance to 
hone their craft in a real movie environment. Thanks to the Oklahoma 
Film and Music Office, https://okfilmmusic.org/ 
<https://okfilmmusic.org/>, they filmed three short movies in Oklahoma. 
So, when you watch the film, you can see the improvement in the 
youngsters as the movie progresses.

This week the movie premiered in September and is available on YouTube 
as a 34-minute short at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf1Q4tS32Ww

Kevin stars as the radio voice of Colonel and should be up for an Emmy 
for best supporting actor. Kevin says any requests for autographs should 
go through his agent, Wilma, W5WRO. Both Kevin and Marcus have their 
name in the credits, so make sure you stay through the ending!

Thanks, Kevin, for putting a great light on amateur radio!
