This almost feels like a dispatch from the front lines of a crazed art/music war…

We’re short on specifics and all we’ve got is a few random photos, but, damn if it doesn’t look like a good time.

Seems a few FilmSchoolSF students signed on to shoot some kind of multi-band, entertainment-stageshow extravaganza at an “undisclosed location” in Oakland a couple weeks ago. Class 10’s  Dave Malloure, Bill Ulliset, Beltran Luque armed themselves with three cameras and shot 8 bands and the burlesque act over the course of a long evening. Dodging lobbed beer cups and errant crossbow fire, the lads maintained a professional focus and captured what reportedly was a “pretty hardcore” event.

Details from the event are sparse but the photos speak volumes. From the look of it, we’re guessing there was some kind of Day of the Dead theme going on but one can never be too sure.

On the bill – MC Meat Hook, Cycloptopus, The Drowsy Holler, Trust Nothing and a few more – plus a burlesque act.

“I had a hell of a time. I didn’t get into any fights and learned a lot about how to shoot (film) under pressure,” said Ulliset.

We’re still awaiting word on where and how this footage is to be shown. Stay tuned.
