The terrifying prospect of not seeing your classmates again is in the minds of every college graduate.

But you would be surprised by how much collaboration exists among Elon University alumni.

Tim Johnson, alumnus of the Class of 2009, teamed up with other Elon alumni to create the three-part comedic web series "Little Knockers," a parody of HBO’s intensely heated "Hard Knocks."

While retaining the same level of drama from “Hard Knocks,” “Little Knockers” projects the seriousness of the HBO series towards a peewee football team, creating a hysterical complex among the young children and the over-the-top head coach, played by Jim O’Heir from the popular NBC series "Parks and Recreation."

Johnson, the director and producer, worked closely with writer and producer Jonathan Marty to create the show. It has received an enthusiastic response from the public.

“Both Jonathan and I are fans of the ‘Hard Knocks’ NFL training camp show, but we thought if we just change the age of the players and adapt the story lines to the world of kids, it could make the style and drama of the show seem a little ridiculous,” Johnson said.

When the idea was first conceived, Johnson said he immediately began contacting Elon alumni to form a production team. For alumna Kara Johnson, who worked as a camera operator and sound recordist on set, the idea got her onboard right away.

“I got a call from Tim asking if I’d like to help out, and the rest is history,” she said.

According to Johnson, having a team consisting of Elon alumni was invaluable.

“It was unbelievably helpful,” he said. “The great thing about it was that there was a mutual understanding amongst us and a shared background — it made it easier to work together. Our Elon backgrounds got us into sync really quickly, and there's just kind of a quick, shared trust and shared interest in doing a good job and wanting to make it successful, even though it's low-budget.”

Johnson has collaborated with Elon alumni on several occasions.

“For the people I work with most, like Max Cantor '10 who lives in New York, or Colin Havey '10, Will Anderson '13, Will Simon '13 and J McMerty '00, they're all just close friends and that's the value in it. You know one another, you have a feel for one another's taste, creative decision-making,” he said.

The friendships among the production team, topped by the incomparable humor of O’Heir, created exciting memories for everyone on set, according to Johnson.

“It was a challenge to quiet everyone down when we were about to start rolling,” he said. “Jim and the assistants couldn't stop cracking jokes.”

The peewee team shared the set with the production team. The children involved in the film were not child actors. Due to the fact that the team had no real budget, Johnson and Marty approached a real Little League team who agreed to be involved in the film and provide their field as a location. Though the show sometimes depicts incessantly swearing children, the kids did not actually do or hear any swearing.

“We explained to their parents ahead of time that we were going to strategically bleep certain words in the editing to imply they were swearing, but that they'd never have to hear it or say it,” Johnson said.

According to Johnson, his time at Elon pushed him to keep working at shooting, editing, writing and continuing to practice and hone his craft.

“For me, even though ‘Little Knockers’ wasn't a real job someone hired us to do, it felt very much like that way of working at Elon — kind of like ‘OK, we're not doing this for a class or because we have to, but let's see if we can pull it off,’” he said. “As I learned at Elon and continue to learn with every project, the more you do it yourself the more you learn about each step of the process.”

Johnson said he advises current Elon students to keep taking advantage of Elon’s opportunities as they progress in their academic journeys.

“Elon provides a fantastic situation for you to learn and experiment, but with a safety net you don't find in the real world,” he said. “Push yourself, take advantage of it while you can, and then once you've graduated, you'll find you're in a stronger position to know what you want to do and you'll have to tools to get that work.”
