The Films of Todd Mars

THE FILMS OF TODD MARS are an hour-long collection of 8mm films that were shot between 1977-79 at Bowie Senior High School. Todd documented both the mundane, and the profound. Well, actually it was mostly the mundane, but the fact that he recorded it at all makes every frame profound. In this series of film reels, Todd cover a lot of territory: Old Bowie roads, high school hallways, lots of cigarette smoking, people annoyed at the camera, hanging out in the school parking lot, driving through the Whitehall section, etc.

The complete FILMS OF TODD MARS reel is nearly an hour long, but is broken up for YouTube. A DVD was given out as a memento for Class of '79 alumni who attended the 30th reunion. These films will always be screened at future reunions. They are a note-perfect glimpse at what Bowie High looked like from 1977-79. Thank you Todd.
