How the film was made:

Dedicated film students from Carmel High school, Monterey High school and York school have collaborated to produce a 52-minute featurette film with HARA Motion Pictures at Access Monterey Peninsula television studios. Beginning in November, each weekend students came together for on-camera acting training and to write the ensemble film. Each student created a unique character they would play in the film and their stories developed into three main storylines which weaved together to create A LONG SHOT. The film was shot on location in Monterey County over the student holiday winter break, with students serving as both actors and crew to create the film.
