Raiders Guys
In 1982, in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, Chris Strompolos, eleven, asked Eric Zala, twelve, a question: “Would you like to help me do a remake of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK? I’m playing Indiana Jones.” And they did it. Every shot, every line of dialogue, every stunt. They borrowed and collected costumes, convinced neighborhood kids to wear grass skirts and play natives, cast a fifteen-year-old as Indy’s love interest, rounded up seven thousand snakes (sort of), built the Ark, the idol, the huge boulder, found a desert in Mississippi, and melted the bad guys’ faces off.
It took them seven years.
Chris Strompolos currently heads up FANOLOGY, a Digital Marketing Agency in Playa Vista, California as Vice President of Operations & Business Development. In addition to being a proud husband and father, Chris is working on his next album, IN THE TIME OF LIES & ISOLATION. Updates and projects can be found here:
