This is the film I made with Josh Shenkman for our freshman year at RIT School of Film and Animation.

We wrote a few more scripts for these characters that never got made.

We shot it on SVHS. It's hard to believe how far camera technology has come since 2000.

    Haha, this is great. I like the way you always have a cigarette to show your disapproval/disappointment. It's a shame you didn't make more, I liked the characters. The dad was great too.

    Just out of interest, how come only your name is in all lower case?

    Was this all filmed on campus (more or less)?

    Edit: Theresa Idontknow, what a sweet name.

    On or around. Plus at the Racquet Club apartments.

    I was wondering what kind of apartment that was. R.I.P. Racquet Club.

    That's great man.
    I think I just saw you in the "health" food section at Freddy's.
    I should of said hello. That would have been courteous.

    The one on Glisan? I'm there a lot because I live nearby.

  • Kevin Forrest 1 year ago
    Yeah. I live close too. Actually the Safeway on 82nd is closer to go to but the amount of loonies can be overwhelming so I make the extra haul to that Freddy's. If I see you again maybe I will just say hello and not be so shy!

    Ridiculous and fun from beginning to end. The triangle shaped eye patch was a nice touch, so was the shout out to Dave Barry. Any plans on making anything out of the never made scripts? DO IT!

    Actually a different Dave Barry, our roommate. Chances are slim for more of this series, but for a similar video: vimeo.com/50853

    What were the other scripts? And does anybody have said scripts?
  • dalas verdugo staff 1 year ago
    The JetSkis script was the only completed one, I guess. I was also thinking of the Sammy Davis Jr. script, but that wasn't the same characters. We had some other plot outlines that introduced Tom Vullo's character, Mary Mary Copacobanna, who would slide into scenes on a wheeled platform, which I've actually seen done on the Sarah Silverman Program and some other places since then.

    I remember it taking me many, many takes. You and Josh were getting a bit grumpy. It's always been one of my favorites. "Cincinnati Kid" needs to be unearthed, though.
