I am surprised to see this film listed, I saw it as a student a long time ago.
The film is an experimental, deconstructionist film of (if I remember right) about eight to 12 minutes in length. The film is exactly what the title suggests -- production stills. The whole thing is production stills, shot in real time as the film progresses.
The movie begins with a close-up of a cork bulletin board. Off camera, voices are heard discussing the setting up of a camera angle. A flashbulb goes off, and a poloroid picture is pinned to the board. More discussion takes place as we watch the picture slowly develop in front of our eyes. Another flash, another picture is pinned, and gradually the whole story of what the voices are discussing unfolds.
The setup is potentially tedious, but Fisher manages to inject some very dry and droll humor into the film.
