Director’s statement

Clint Adam Smyth says:

“This film was shot for fun over a weekend with a small crew. It was nice to shoot just for fun rather than some of the more corporate or music work I often do. Everyone involved contributed and we all had a great weekend with very little sleep.

This one has inspired me to start shooting a new series of spoofs.  I will be shooting more spoofs of several different genres over the next year.”
