I recently finished a re-edit of the movie for it’s 20th anniversary! Here it is in it’s entirety.

I worked at Converse Cinemas from 1995-1998 as a projectionist, usher, concession, and box office. I pretty much grew up there. During the summer of 1998, the general manager let me and several friends shoot “Brain Wraps,” a feature length comedy in the style of Clerks, after hours. What I thought would take a month to shoot actually took all summer long. We typically would shoot 4 nights a week from 12:00-4:00am. We recorded roughly 40 tapes, each about 2 hours of material. Then, post production took an additional year. While it never really received a proper release. I did have screenings at USC Upstate, Converse College, and Winthrop University the following year. While I am not crazy about the camera quality of the finished product. It did help me to launch a successful career in film and video editing. And with Converse Cinemas now demolished, it is a lasting memento of what a special place Converse Cinemas was in it’s heydey! If anyone wants to watch the movie, here are the links. I would love feedback if anybody wants to share.
