There was no plot, no microphones (clearly) and it was about 100 degrees that day.Ī week later, one of my friends edited it and set the movie to an old clip of the Eagles singing their Doolin Daltons/Desperado song. We were bored one summer afternoon and said, “Let’s make a movie.” We grabbed our only cowboy hat, our only BB gun and only toy revolver, and drove out to a Western movie set in Malibu. When my dad recently died, we uncovered a video he had stored away marked “Desperado.” It turns out it was a 5-minute movie that I made with my brother and two friends back in high school. The Vidbox Video Conversion Suite just helped me uncover my long-lost acting debut (and finale).
