Filmmaker Anthony Torres resides in Orlando, Florida. He began his film
BASH in 1993 at the age of 20. He wrote and directed the film that
summer, maxxing out his credit cards to get the film stock necessary to
shoot out. Bash screened it in truncated form in 2003 at the Brouhaha
Film and Video Showcase. The 16mm production was marred by no money, 2
years before seeing any processed footage, homelessness to save the $3
grand to pay the lab bill, and then re-enrolling in college in order to
score a deep discount on Film-to-video transfers.
Sadly, two reels that featured the film's inciting incident (a stabbing) and climax (a bat beating in a parking garage) were stolen/forgotten on the set. So the 2003 version was a make-do affair, cut from intended 90 minutes to 20 minutes.
