My junior year of college,
BJU's Unusual Films created a full length production about the Spanish
Inquisition called Flame in the Wind. BJU's student body was
about 5000 strong and I think at least half the campus mobilized for
this production. Faculty members taught their classes and gave homework
patiently and not so patiently around filming schedules. I think half
of them were in the movie too!
I played an extra in the
auto de fe scene, a peasant and did sound-dubbing and also make-up
for the soldiers. As peasants we were supposed to have dirt on our
faces and clothes and I remember we were worried that South Carolina's
red clay wouldn't look right for the part!
