Status: Lost

Our Footloose Remake is a 2010 crowd-funded parody film and a collaborative effort between a variety of amateur filmmakers brought together by the film festival known as "Channel 101".

Background

Development of the film originally began as a snarky response to Hollywood announcing an official remake to the 1984 film Footloose.

The project divided the original 1984 film into 54 different scenes, giving each one to a different set of filmmakers who would recreate their given scene in their own unique way.

Once all scenes were done, they were edited together into a complete film with the conflicting stylistic choices between scenes being used for comedic effect.

Channel 101 would later follow this up with "Our Robocop Remake", a response to the official 2014 remake of Robocop.

Availability

The film premiered at the "Downtown Independent Theatre" in Los Angeles on July 1st, 2010 and later uploaded to David Seger's Vimeo account on 11th April, 2011.

The film was later taken down due to a copyright claim by the "International Federation of the Phonographic Industry".

All that remains of the film is a trailer are a handful of scenes uploaded online.
