Syndicated Evangelist is shooting a short parody of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, which starred Jack Nicholson and Shelly Duvall.

 

In our parody, instead of being the winter caretakers for the luxurious Overlook Resort in the snow restricted Colorado Rockies, Jack and Wendy Torrance (the Nicholson and Duvall characters) will be the summer caretakers for a cheap South Tucson Motel, which closes down each summer because of the oppressive heat.  The South Tucson Motel like Kubrick's  Overlook -- "shines" -- that is, it's haunted.

 

We will be shooting from Friday October 4 through Monday October 7 at locations in Tucson and South Tucson.
