Hey folks ...

There are a lot of folks who are new on here, so i thought I'd share this feature film that i made while in college back in 2002 (or 2003?). This was shot on VHSC tape, (except for the "dinner" sequence, which was shot on digital 8, a little better). I wrote the film, shot and acted in it as well.

Complete with a short subject at the beginning. I did a further "final cut" of the film, which actually runs about ten minutes longer, but I think that the final cut will have to wait until i can fully restore all the footage and then do an absolutely "Fianl FINAL" cut in the future.

OK, it was shot with a bunch of rank amatuers (some have actually went onto bigger and better things), but it was the most fun I have ever had in my life! Yes, all of the vocal impersonations are done by myself, in front of and behind the camera. Man, i can only imagine how good this would have looked if I had, back then, my FLIP 1080p cameras!

Here it is ... get ready to laugh!

The funny thing is that, if i ever wanted to make this as an actual feature film, whether direct to video/DVD/bluray or otherwise, i bet it would still be better than most comedies out there these, by mainstream Hollywood studios, (judging by what i have seen).

That's strange, usually youtube videos always play for me. never heard of that happening, but I hope it works out for you.

I forgot to mention, watch it all the way thru the end credits, as there are a lot of jokes thru-out the scroll! [Smile]
