Fridley on YouTube: A 1974 Grace High School Film Studies Project
Rediscovered and restored, the 15-minute student movie about hit men resurfaces after 38 years.
A student-made short movie from a 1974 Grace High School film studies class appeared on YouTube in December—restored with new credits and Maynard Ferguson soundtrack.
The 15-minute film's plot revolves around a pair of hit men doing their job. It's called Slaughter 5. So, fair warning: There is gun violence and gore.
