DIVINE MANIPULATION OF THE THREADS is Rusted Sun Films' second feature length film.  The idea for the film was born from a conversation between the writer Bevan B. Bell and a close friend.  The idea of a "Heist Film" seemed an appealing change of genre for the "boys" at RSF to tackle.  In three weeks worth of evenings, the first draft of the film had been completed and shopped to Anthony Howald and Brad Alsobrook.  They loved the idea and loved even more that this script, in comparison to "COWBOY" was a little easier for the reader to grasp.  Laughter ensued.

That laughter carried along to the physical production of the film.  The original feel of the script came across as a super-cool caper, with underground characters, a great sense of comedic timing, and a low-to-no-budget approach.  However, as soon as the crew started to film the initial scenes, the film quickly took the form of a full blown comedic effort... never turning away from a laugh.  The niche was found.

The production took approximately 25 days worth of weekends and "free time."  The idea that a great film could be made "locally" with no real budget, no-name actors, and genuine dedication is the foundation on which the film was made and finally completed.  The film spans various public settings from one season to the next, attempting to attract the audiences attention to the fantastic performances held within the film and not the colored change of season.  It was the cast and crew's dedication to the project and their ultimate support of their vision that made this film possible.  A fantastic feature film can be shot on spare time and no-budget... just not quickly... or easily.

The film runs approximately 93 minutes and is accompanied by a 35 minute "making of" documentary that includes interviews with the cast and handfuls of bloopers.  From viewing the film and it's additional material, one can easily take away from it that those involved with the film had a blast making it.  DIVINE MANIPULATION OF THE THREADS was filmed in Memphis, Tennessee and it's surrounding areas during 2005 and 2006.
