(a.k.a. SPY GUY)
 The cast and crew of "The Depth of Evil" collect their award for Best Picture. (L to R: Jenny Tyrrell, Erin Griggs, Arman Partamian, Anthony Piercy, Michael K. Anderson, Jimmy Blakley; class instructors Barry Reynolds and James George look on in the background) |
When the evil Nemesis
Fiend (Michael K. Anderson) hijacks the Big MacNuke, the world's first
hamburger-shaped nuclear device, it's up to Spy Guy (Arman Partamian)
to save the day in this spoof of spy films and Russian novels. *sigh* My first solo outing as director back in high school. In retrospect, it's a bit too in-jokey and overlong, but it still has its charms. And the "checkers" scene remains a classic...  Produced
for the "Film Unit" in Central High School's TAG class; at the end of
the year it was tradition to premiere all the films made that semester
and have the students vote on which ones were most worthy of
recognition. "The Depth of Evil"
won awards for Best Screenplay, Best
Actor (Michael K. Anderson), Best Director and Best Picture. CLIPS Coming Soon! RT - 45:00 Written, Produced and Directed by Michael K. Anderson Story by Michael K.
