On the cracked driveway of 8100 was where it all started…
Founded in 2022 by Luke Hristou, 81hundred was formed to facilitate the Real Reat Proof of Concept (2022) and Real Rat Pilot (2024). 81hundred has been responsible for all aspects of the Real Rat production process: writing, fundraising, casting, crewing, scouting/securing locations, budgeting, scheduling, on-set logistics, and marketing.
81hundred has and will always strive to turn production dreams into reality with down-to-earth, sports-centric content.
where thousands of hours were spent falling in love with the game of basketball, and without knowing it, the seed of a creative dream.
Fast forward to June 2020, and from the basement of 8100, that seed
blossomed into a hoops-inspired script!
The OG 8100 — Salt Lake City, UT
And there was only one place to film it…
Enter — Spokane, WA.
Oct. 2020 — car and script were packed, and the biggest hoops haven on
the planet, aka @hooptownusa, became home.
Jan. 2022 — a year and a half of work on the script, recruiting,
casting, planning, prepping, and finally…
The formation of 81hundred LLC.
April 2022 - Principal photography wraps on the Real Rat - Pilot!
