Production Notes

Hazy Pictures regulars, Lisa Cupoli, Joseph Callaghan, Matthew Perry, and Alan McNairn joined forces with Lisa Hayes on a frosty, windy February 13, to film The Colonel, a comical super 8 film that explores the flawed love of fast food made by Kentucky’s Colonel Sanders. A few hours of pick-ups were shot on a considerably milder March 13 – same cast and crew. Hayes edited the film on LIFT’s Media 100 non-linear editing system. On May 25, fab Toronto band, Sticky Rice, recorded the original tune, “The Chicken Song”, conceptualized by Hayes and Tiberius. Thanks to amazing recordist Ian Blurton. The 4 minute film was commissioned by Toronto’s 2nd Annual Splice This Super 8 Film Festival on the topic of “Flawed” and premiered at Ted’s Wrecking Yard on June 20, 1999.
