Need to Know's video: Let s Do It The Comedy about the First Student Film

This is a promotional video made in support of "Let's Do It" — a feature film about the making of "Ed's Coed", the first full-length student film. "Ed's Coed" was made at the University of Oregon in 1929. Two students — Carvel Nelson and James Raley — had the nerve to ask director Cecil B. DeMille for a camera and he granted them their wish — and he sent his camera operator up with it. The screenplay of the movie about the making of that movie — Let's Do It — was written by Bryce Zabel and Jackie Zabel, winners of the Writers Guild of America award for original longform screenwriting. To be perfectly, absolutely, completely clear — Let's Do It is NOT a re-make of the silent film Ed's Coed. It is a comedy ABOUT the behind-the-scenes craziness and romances that happened while making the original film. The New Film, Let's Do It, will be Produced by: Bryce Zabel Producers: Bill Swindells, Jackie Zabel, Jordan Yospe, Rob King, Duncan McDonald Portions of this video were produced by students of the University of Oregon. We have included the famous Pepsi 1920s Bruno Mars Superbowl half-time commercial for purposes of illustration only.
