Directed by Jake Lymon, with the help of assistant director Kyle Sutton and a crew of friends, Sleepy Hollow 3 is filled with blood, horror and decapitation. The plot brings the story back to Washington Irving’s original plot of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.  Ichabod Crane has left his position as constable to be a schoolteacher in order to lead a simpler life. Things go wrong, however, when Katrina VanTassel and a “disgusting witch” plot to use the Headless Horseman to take over the town and Crane is compelled to save the day. Sleepy Hollow 3 is the largest film to come out of Jazzed Productions, a local production company created by Jake Lymon. With the help of Kyle Sutton and a crew of friends, Lymon has produced two other full-length films, including Awake Solid: a Sequel to Sleepy Hollow, as well as some short films.  Lymon is a freshman at Boise State and plans to become a filmmaker.       -30- Contact: Autumn Haynes, Student Activities, 208 426-1223.
