Siblings Alexi and Arianna Papalexopoulos attended St. Ignatius High School along with Geoff Callan and Salvatore Rizzo.
The actors rode helicopters, shot (supervised) live ammunition, rode horses, and worked with an actual baboon... totally fun.
HEY MICKEY was created during the SONY 4K FILM CHALLENGE, a timed filmmaking competition that took place at the Napa Valley Film Festival in November 2013. Geoff Callan was selected, along with 4 other filmmakers, to craft a short film based on randomly-assigned topic.
On Tuesday, November 12th, Geoff Callan and the other teams were armed with the Sony 4K Handycam Camcorder and the latest SONY equipment and editing software... equipment that they had never used and had just recently been released to the public. Each team was then assigned a genre, prop and location requirements and then sent on their way to use their creative ingenuity to craft the ultimate short film in 60 hours!
HEY MICKEY is the 5-minute short film that was born from this challenge, which took place at the Napa Valley Film Festival in November 2013.
Geoff Callan directed the film and his team included local San Franciscans and award winning filmmakers Alexi Papalexopoulos, Mark Sandhoff, and Paul Byrd Jr. The film stars Elizabeth Montana (Joe Montana's daughter in her acting debut), Sal Rizzo, and Mickey the Baboon (Tom Cruise's sidekick "Hey Man" in the film ROCK OF AGES).
