About Of Theatre & Bikinis - by Filmmaker Jeff Kirkendall:
Of Theatre & Bikinis is an independent short comedy which my production partner James Carolus and I produced in Summer, 2003 in Upstate New York using digital video equipment. The movie was shot primarily in Albany, Menands, and Saratoga Springs, NY. The main location used, referred to as "the bike grounds" in the movie, was Congress Street Park in Saratoga. Albany's Washington Park was also
featured in some shots, including one of the girls walking over a scenic bridge.
Of Theatre & Bikinis was my sixth independent production. A trailer was produced
in 2005, and an early version of the movie was screened locally in 2006. The final
version was completed in 2007 and shown at festivals and screenings around the
area. The movie features several actors from my previous productions, in addition to many new faces. Of Theatre & Bikinis is now being released here for the first time commercially on DVD.
