R + R (Rest and Relaxation) Films

Rest and Relaxation Films was the first name selected by Robert James and Randy Martin, the original pair that started the group.

In 2003, David Seagraves had a requirement in his theater arts class that every student must form a short film group and show the 11 different camera shots and movements in order to get credit for learning the techniques. Robert James and Randy Martin just happen to have a friendship and neighboring seats in their class.

The pair started with a nature Documentary, based on Steve Irwin's program, and made it about humans and their strange behavior. Seagrave's enjoyed the short, and encouraged them to continue with the comedy theme for their next assignment. The next video was about a young, ficticious character who kidnaps himself in the off-kilter and oddly timed Jimshi Hostage Experiment. Though disjointed, it was still a credit-earning assignment, and paved the way for their first Computer Edited film, Mentos (A Parody of the late 80s/ early 90s commercials). The success of their first year prompted new equipment and actual editing techniques, so Robert James began saving money for a better editing program.

During his Sophomore Year in High School, Robert James was once again in the Seagraves' Class, Theater Arts II, with a new film group intent on improving on the popular earlier films.

The Janitor was the first video shown in every single class of David Seagraves theater arts, and managed to win the first ever Best Film of the Year Award in the end of the year Ceremony officiated by Seagraves himself.

A Short parody of Cops, and two fake commercials rounded out the year for the group, but the first movie made purely for fun (though presented as a class project), was News At 6. It starred Ryan Kris Keel, a now popular Improvisational Actor, and featured many fake news stories intended for comedic purposes.

After a year of great reviews and growing popularity school-wide, Robert James had finally acquired the new editing programs in the summer of 2004, and began experimenting and learning the programs, which indeed had a steep curve to keep up with.

The absence of Randy Martin from most of his classes in his Junior Year prompted Robert James to rename the movie group, to the newer Enigmatic Productions, which marked a more serious note for the future of their movies.
