Rat Tail Tales

Image
FWF Pictures presents a Sci-Fi/Fantasy film for Kazoo 48 2026  https://youtu.be/_NU1H41RmbM (online after 4/23) In an alternate world, every person has a rat tail choice to change their own fate.  These are the stories of how those fates intertwine. LINE OF DIALOGUE: “No wonder mine has never worked” CHARACTER: Someone who has unbelievably good luck LOCATION: Car Interior PROP: Scissors It is that time of year again, I actually had 2 cool ideas the back of my head before genre's were assigned but neither made sense with the assigned elements.  We have done Sci Fi before but it has always been 1 special thing on top of today's world instead of a bunch of lore and junk.  This one at the behest of Jason had the lore and junk, and for the most part it worked out.   Here is an AI assisted backstory that is not in the final film:  And it came to pass that Adam and Eve did not partake of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. The trial of wisdom was withheld, a...

After the 300th Naughty Ladybug story we sat down and sketched out what a movie would look like.

Star Child - Kazoo 48 2025

Image
Star power becomes a star curse for a collection of very vincible men.  FWF Pictures presents a Thriller short film made for the Kazoo Forty-Eight 2025  Required Elements: Mailbox, Pepper Shaker, Guy who laughs at the wrong times.  Line: "I'm pretty sure I saw that on the news!" Filmed 4/5/2025.  Completed 4/6/2025.  Released 4/24/2025 Some thoughts below... When the crew steps down, a Charlie, Eric and Graydon thing is formed.  Very proud of this Thriller created for the 2025 Kazoo Film Project.  A nice day in the woods similar to "Daddy for a Good Time" but with a bit more focus and one less child involved. I did not mean to bring a full on video game character into this but I think it was a good use of me and moved us from point A to point B quickly.  Just sad I couldn't grow out my facial hair enough in time but I made the right choice not using a fake mustache. Eric and I have been doing this for almost 20 years now, we have both gotten bett...
