PORTALES, N.M. (AP) - The administration building at Eastern New Mexico University will be turned into Gestapo headquarters in Nazi Germany for a student film.
James Perkins is enrolled in a directed-study class taught by Laurel Petty, assistant professor of digital cinema arts. Actors are expected to be in costume when Perkins begins filming scenes for his production Friday and again on March 5.
The building will be draped with props that include Nazi flags, propaganda posters and banners.
The 90-minute science fiction film will use at least 13 students at the Portales university as actors and crew. It is described as a post-apocalyptic tale about Germany winning world War II after using atomic bombs, and much of the film is set in a fictional Texas that has seceded from the United States.
