James Hunter

James Hunter began making movies at an extremely young age. At age 13 in 1990 he made a "Star Wars" movie using action figures with blue screen and special effects after renting out a local TV station. At age 14 he wrote "Robin Hood: Prince of Sherwood" and with the help of his father and friends, pulled together his first feature film, shot on 16mm. The film took three years to make and premiered in January 1994 at the local town theater. Tickets were sold at $5 and around 3,000 people saw the movie over 2 days. James self taught himself how to load and shoot with a 16mm film camera and also taught himself to edit on film. That same year, Hunter began his second feature film attempt at age 17, this time playing the lead role as well as directing. Also shot and edited on 16mm, "The River Bridge" was completed in 1996. This film starred Charles Napier, a veteran character actor of the 80s and 90s.…
