About the film

 

848 is a documentary made by two filmmakers: Jonah Meehan and Tom McKnight. It was originally an ambitious project created in the high school filmmaking class during September 2004, when the two filmmakers were juniors at TLC High School. It was created along with a few other people as well. It was titled “TLC History project” at the beginning, and the crew started planning and writing down a list of people to interview about the history of the school. Then the clips of athletics footage were added to the film before the end of 2004-2005 school year. In the second year of making the film, more and more interviews took place and the shots of buildings on the campus were added in 2006. It was to be long film, predicted to be 120 to 150 minutes. During the Winter of 2005, the title was finally created, 848. The film was nearing its completion but was suspended due to both filmmakers' attendance to Gallaudet University in the past year. Both returned to the work and the film is slated for 2008 release. This film will be an epic for both TLC's and documentary film's histories.
