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: Herbert Thibadeaux is changing. One day he wakes up malformed, the next he's too handsome for society to accept. But his transforrmations raise suspicion in the girl of his dreams who's been through a transformation of her own. Now, Herbert must make a sacrifice to prove his love.
Writer: GB Shannon
Elegantly written and handsomely shot, WOKE UP UGLY is everything a filmmaker would want a short film to be: entertaining and engaging in its own self-contained way, but also an impressive calling card that suggests what the talent involved might do with a bigger project and more resources. --Chris Herrington, Memphis Flyer
Ryan Parker has collaborated on several shorts and features. WOKE UP UGLY, his most recent project, won Best Narrative Short at the Red Rock Film Festival and Best Short Film and Audience Favorite at the Indie Memphis Film Festival.
