Chippy the Whittler is a short(10-15 minnute) independently produced and distributed film created in Shawnee Kansas during the spring of 2006. It was written and primarily directed artistically by Jacob Maggart(now legally known by the moniker "Eisley Jacob Holman Constantine"). While the acting talents consisting primarily of the writer and childhood friend Chris Benzing, the cinematography was handled almost exclusively by brothers Karl and Bjorn Sparrman and features many other local amateur talents. The film won local acclaim at Johnson County Community College's Cavalier FIlm Festival by taking third in the short film category in 2007. While produced on a tight budget of 8 US dollars, it managed to draw a competitively large audience during its spring premiere at the small theatre of Mill Valley High School. Currently out of print, the film is a sought after item within local circles
