Festival updates for Amnesia Bachelor

This past weekend was an exciting one for Amnesia Bachelor - we screened at both the Sham Film Festival and the Broad Humor Film Festival in the same day! Crizazy. Unfortunately I was not able to attend Sham (alas, distance) but, along with a few lovely members of the Amnesia Bachelor team, I got to see it on the big screen at Broad Humor.

It was very cool to watch Amnesia Bachelor with an audience of people who (a) had never seen it before, and (b) were not affiliated with it in any way. It made their laughs even sweeter! Afterwards, one audience member, whom I'd never met, came up to me and said Amnesia Bachelor was her favorite short in the program. A better compliment I couldn't hope for! That, in addition to meeting some awesome and talented fellow filmmakers, made for a very enjoyable weekend.

The Sham Film Fest poster is here!

Here's a fun thing to look at on this way-too-hot (in Los Angeles, at least) Friday! The official poster for the 2nd Annual Sham Film Festival is up, and guess who is featured on it? If you guessed "the fabulous ladies of Amnesia Bachelor", you'd be right! (If you guessed "some neat-looking puppets" or "a few people covered in blood", you'd also be right, just slightly off-topic.) Thank you, Shammers, for including us! We are tickled pink. Have a lovely weekend, everyone!

Look, Ma, we're on a poster!

Amnesia Bachelor is going to Broad Humor!

Another exciting day for Amnesia Bachelor! I am beyond happy to announce that we've been accepted into the Broad Humor Film Festival. It's the 10th anniversary of this awesome festival, which is devoted entirely to showcasing funny, talented ladies and the work they create. We're thrilled to be a part of it - and also thrilled that it's taking place right here in Los Angeles at the end of September! I suspect some of our own funny, talented ladies will be in attendance...

Amnesia Bachelor is on a roll!

Amnesia Bachelor is going to Sham!

Exciting news for Amnesia Bachelor! We've been accepted into the 2nd Annual Sham Film Festival, a fun young festival devoted entirely to spoofs, satires, and parody. Our teaser promo is one of 17 shorts that will play during the festival, which is taking place at the end of September in St. Louis, Missouri.

We're beyond stoked to be a part of Sham! Can't wait for Amnesia Bachelor to play up on the big screen!

My first laurels as a writer/producer!

Chris Harrison liked Amnesia Bachelor!

Now, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the show, this might not seem like a big deal. But those of you who ARE familiar with it will understand why, when Chris Harrison responded to a tweet about Amnesia Bachelor and shared the video, I freaked out!

The tweet that nearly made me fall over.

He's been the host of the show since its inception, and is the biggest star in The Bachelor universe. So the idea of him watching, enjoying, and then spreading the word about our little parody promo is pretty much the best response I could want. Woohoo! Happy Groundhog Day, everyone!

Amnesia Bachelor is here!

Hey guys! At long last, the spoof teaser promo for Amnesia Bachelor has been released. Check it out below. The fantastic team behind this project includes dynamic directing (and filming, and editing) duo Kylie and Eric of K+E Productions, Bryan at Dandy Lion Sketches, and of course Valentina and Brad of MiaKoda. Not to mention the amazing cast! I hope you guys enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it :)

Behind The Scenes: Secret Bachelor Spoof

Exciting things afoot! Recently I wrote, produced, and acted in a parody teaser promo for...well, I don't want to give away the title just yet, but let's just say it's a spin-off of The Bachelor that takes the premise of the show to the next level.

Intrigued??

A great group of people volunteered to help out with the video - including the fabulous directing team of Kylie and Eric at K+E Productions, and a bunch of hilarious and talented actors (some of whom you may recognize from At The Maple Grove!).

The video is still in post-production, but I'll be sure to post it here as soon as it's done. To wet your whistle, here are a couple of photos from the shoot:

The oh-so-necessary "group date".
