​
         ​“…One of the strangest permutations of '80's nostalgia to hit movie screens—the now-notorious RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK: THE ADAPTATION, a 106-minute shot-for-shot amateur-video remake of the 1981 Spielberg-Lucas adventure flick, created over a span of seven years by a group of kids in small-town Reagan-era Mississippi.  
 
         "Filled with ingenious contraptions and overweening jerry-rigs, THE ADAPTATION remakes Raiders on less than 1/2,000th of Paramount's original $20 million budget, conjuring exotic locales out of cardboard sets in parents' basements, casting tweens in Boy Scout uniforms as Nazi bad guys, and rolling a gigantic hand-crafted boulder through the family garage to create the film's signature scene. 
 
   Nothing short of slapdash spectacular.”

AN EARLY TWILIGHT
 
The Original Short Film on DVD
 
Written and directed by Eric Zala
Running time:  20 minutes + Bonus Features
 
By now, many have discovered RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK: THE ADAPTATION, the 80’s Betamax love letter remake of the Spielberg blockbuster by kids, subject of book and documentary.  However – largely unknown to even its fans, is that the makers of that unique collaboration did actually work together again… on an original short drama, no less.
 
Eric (director, played Belloq) wrote and directed AN EARLY TWILIGHT, casting Chris (played Indy) in a supporting role.  Shot in 16MM, over 9 days on location in upstate New York, this short drama won 19 awards on the film festival circuit back in 1993, but has never been publicly released – until now.
 
Non- spoiler synopsis:
 
Within an isolated rest home, one man is not what he seems.  His pain and frustration explode into violence.  This is the peculiar story of Peter and Jill – his desire, her repulsion – their love.
 
“Eric Zala directs an amazing love-conquers-all story… This is a well directed, original, and touching drama.”
