Ok, this was a spur of the moment let's enter a short film competition done on the prompting of my wife. This competition is held in Boston once a year and it involves making a mock trailer for a film that doesn't exist. The theater that runs it lays down the rules and the title, so you have to follow their road map but the trailer itself is your creation. Since their subject title was "The Librarian," and since my wife is a librarian, we decided to enter a trailer this year. My wife and I co-wrote it, and I ended up directing it in about 3 hours one evening. Our mock trailer shows a "lost" Marx Brothers film that features the brothers in the funeral business racket. Groucho and Harpo are trying to take Zeppo for a ride by claiming they can resurrect the spirit of his great grandmother. They go as far as to pull the old ectoplasm stunt but end up shocked when a spirit actually does appear. When our short played the festival, I became painfully aware of just how deep the generation gap is...although they laughed, I honestly believe these kids, (because that was what the audience was made up of, college level kids) didn't get it, I honestly believe they had no clue who the fuck the Marx Brothers were! LOL! Times have certainly changed...Please let us know what you think of this short.
