SPARE CHANGE, a 5 minute movie, was originally made for a contest where director Evan Seplow and his team of filmakers had only 24 hours to concept, write, shoot, and edit the entire film!

We wound up going with a 1930’s screwball comedy shot in classic high key black and white (with color effects added for the sparkling money), this screwball romp takes advantage of 1930's lines such as “Stop on a dime” and "Penny for your thoughts.”

The story follows Penny Pinching Charlie as he enters the home of his girlfriend’s family. Alone for a moment he spots a penny on a table and snatches it. Before long it’s like Pennies from Heaven and he is grabbing up all the loose change he can find. But little does he know that his Penny Ante antics ain’t worth a Plug Nickel. Because this Funny Money will get him in more trouble than a Two-Bit Criminal like him expects! Yes, poor Charlie get’s Nickel and Dimed to Death!

Starring Peter Schuyler as Charlie, Nic Travato as his girl, Nyle Caisley as the hysterically comical sister and Joe Cassese as her husband. This was a fun film to make and hopefully you’ll enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it!

In the works is a behind the scenes documentary showing the full process of us running around for 24 hours making this thing!
