Homemade remakes of famous movies star in Sweded Film Festival Ethan Sacks © Provided by NBC News
For her remake of Ferris Bueller s Day Off, filmmaker Marissa Chastain didn t have the big bucks that the original production spent on replica stunt cars for the famous scene in which parking attendants take a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder for a joyride.
Having lost her jobs as a comedian and yoga instructor during the Covid-19 pandemic, the most the 36-year-old Chicago resident s budget allowed for was a $9 remote-controlled toy.
What she did have was two roommates willing to be her co-directors and cast, access to the same Windy City locations as the original and a sense of humor. The latter proved the most important to secure one of the 11 finalist spots in The Sweded Film Festival for Creative Re-Creations.

Despite more delays, don’t expect Hollywood studios to abandon ship and offload their most precious cargo event tentpoles. They’re still willing to wait for a proper theatrical run, and are hopeful that COVID-19 vaccines may calm the waters and allow moviegoing to resume in earnest by fall, if not late summer.
Throughout the pandemic, the vast majority of big-budget event pics have seen their releases repeatedly pushed back amid ongoing theater closures in major markets and other locales, versus being sold off to a streamer or sent to an in-house streaming service.
