Releasing The Funny in 2008
Release The Funny (trailer) is a 91-minute collection of 10 comedy shorts produced by Jerry and Beth MacKay, creators of Littleflick Pictures. All 10 of the shorts were shot and filmed in Buffalo, with Mr. MacKay directing. Featuring more than 80 actors from the Western New York area, some of the shorts included in the film were selected for national film festivals.
Hold The Onions, was screened at the San Francisco International Children's Film Festival, and was nominated for Best Children's Film at the Foursite Film Festival in Utah. Another short in the collection, 120 (which has one of the funniest lines that I have witnessed on film—watch through the credits to see it), screened at 2007 Faux Film Festival in Seattle, WA and the 2007 What The Hell Did I Just Watch Film Festival, in Portland, OR.
You can check out the trailer for Release The Funny in the video above, and then choose any of the three upcoming dates to see it in its hometown theatre. Release the Funny will screen at the BNFF on Saturday, March 29th, and then at two separate screenings on April 4th at the Market Arcade Film and Art Center, and April 5th at the Riviera Theatre and Performing Arts Centre.
