#stanley2thelegacy

24 years ago today “Stanley 2: The Legacy” was released. My second movie made when I was 17 in high school with my friends. In 2018 I decided to fix it up, re digitize from the original tapes and film a few extra scenes with the help of the same camera I used in 1998 and my babies who were my mini crew as we went to the park to shoot. What a beautiful time. I was able to fix scenes and restore the movie to release on YouTube for all to see. Time just comes and goes. Finish your projects and hug your babies 🥹 #keepmovingforward #stanley2thelegacy @venturoproductions #venturoproductions #stanleymerrick #independentfilmmaker #90smovies #director #moviedirector #independentmovie https://www.instagram.com/p/ConOaf4vO1u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My little one. Helping her big sisters film the last scene for #stanley2thelegacy my Vivian loved her little movie experience. She watched her work and loved it. I hope my girls don’t get the bug. They can do bigger and better things than me, but this was a fun little day. #venturoproductions
