Jack Harris
The filming of Dark Star was begun in 1970 as a 16 mm, 45 minute U.S.C. Film School short-film project between co-writers John Carpenter and Dan O’Bannon. Filming continued spasmodically over the next two years as finances flowed and ebbed until completion money was provided by JACK H. HARRIS, who became the film's executive producer. The film's total budget was $60,000 by completion in 1974, a miracle by today’s inflated budget standards.
