This movie will be shot in about 40-50 independent vignettes that have one common theme:  funniness.  No vignette will likely take more than a weekend to shoot so no individuals will be tied up with the production for some interminable period of time.  We realize that everyone has other lives to live beside our movie. 

That said, we also want to protect our interest in the project by not having any one actor being in the entire film only to decide to move to Barbados before we wrap the picture.  Were you going to be under a binding contract and we were paying you big, Hollywood bucks, we could enforce all to participate 'til the end, but this is not that kind of project.  We do plan those more contractual features for the near future, however.

This movie will give budding talent a chance to showcase their work in the various film festivals in which we plan to participate and give them a finished movie that they can show to others empowered to use their talents in the future.

There's an unwritten plus to all this.  This will likely be the most fun you'll ever have working on a production.  We always place high morale and fun-to-work at the forefront of our productions.  There will be others participating in this project who can attest to how true that is from other productions we've worked together on in the past.  So prepare to bring your laughing shoes to this one.

Should the movie make money, and, as anyone in this business knows, anything can happen to a finished movie.  A noteworthy film may rot in the can while another can make millions on the flimsiest of plots.  Ask those guys who threw together The Blair Witch Project.  Point is, if this movie makes money all attached to its production will share in that bounty.

Our movie will probably run in the 120-minute or less range and will likely get a PG-13 or  R rating by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).  There will be adult language and scenes.  We're not doing a remake of The Wizard of Oz here.  It's going to speak to modern audiences, but we intend to err on the side of good taste as much as we can without losing the sharpness and believable reality of the humor involved.
