I love to make super 8 movies with my friends, kindof like souvenirs of places I have been. This version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow was shot entirely on location in Tarrytown, New York, the home of author Washington Irving. Locations include: the Van Cortland Estate, Old Dutch Church and cemetary and the Sleepy Hollow Diner.
This is the first roll for Woody since Toy Story. "I've wanted to do a period piece for as long as I can remember, and that is not very long." - Woody
Crew members: Deirdre Day Macleod and her 4 year old daughter, Sinead.

Filmmaker's note: Shooting a period piece at one of these hokey historical mansions really saves bucks. Just try to stay low-profile!

status: currently in post-production; delays due to Woody demanding final cut
