Looks Kool

In a radical departure from tradition, this year’s
junior production for Years 9 and 10 was not
a play but a 30-minute comedy sci-fi / horror
movie. Entitled Looks Kool and written by Head
Drama
of English Drama & Media, James Baddock,
the piece followed the misfortunes of four
schoolboys who found themselves in a weird
school in a terrifying parallel dimension. There,
they encountered talking dolls, creepily realistic
androids, zombies, and the sinister Deadmaster.
The young cast worked tremendously hard on
the film, helping out behind the camera when
they weren’t in front of it, and learning the craft
of film-making. The film was enthusiastically
received by all who saw it, and the Drama and
Media team are keen to make further movies in
the future.
