FILMMAKER ATTENDING
This film is included in the SHORT NARRATIVE SHOWCASE, one of a series of short film showcases generously supported by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Synopsis: Arkansas' most original filmmaker's most recent work unites two of his favorite characters, Pastor Massey and Reverend OK. The two less than perfect spiritual leaders are dead, having been gunned down by law enforcement officers for stealing electricity. They spend the night before their funerals together -- sitting in their coffins, reminiscing, and swapping yarns with two undead visitors.
Cast: Danny Harrell, Bob Pest
It's likely that mankind is not prepared for the inimitable genius Chambliss has harnessed, working entirely without -- and beyond the limits of -- conventional actors, storylines or even formal training. The results are a dizzyingly unique and entertaining concoction of Southern tall tales, nightmare visions, voyeuristic fantasies and undefinable revelations. --Website of Fantastic Fest 2007 (www.fantasticfest.com)
Self-taught and working with rudimentary equipment, Phil Chambliss has created dozens of short narrative films over a period of thiry plus years. He writes, shoots, and edits the films, as well composing and performing the music. In recent years, Phil's work has come to the attention of a vastly wider audience than he ever hoped for, screening at the London Film Festival, the Nashville Film Festival, and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
