01/05/07 – WHAT'S UP WITH THOSE JAYS?
Stripshow will be screening in the 2007 Worldwide Short Film Festival. The film plays in the unfortunately titled "Slap n Tickle" program, June 15 and 16 at midnight. Get tickets HERE
This is what Eye Weekley had to say about Strip Show: "Once again, dynamic local duo Adam Brodie and Dave Derewlany – creators of the riotous, TIFF-screened shorts The Wrong Number and The Racist Brick – demonstrate that brevity is the soul, etc. Their Strip Show stars Rebecca Addelman as a webcam exhibitionist trying to please an oddly demanding client and runs a trim and consistently amusing three minutes." - Adam Nayman
Be on the lookout for Adam & Dave's Strip Show podcast at http://www.worldwideshortfilmfest.com
True Love will also be screening in Just For Laughs Comedia Film Festival this July. Screening dates to come.
Thank you to everyone at the San Francisco International Film Festival. Both screenings of Strip Show were sold out after word got out that there would be full frontal nudity in the Desperately Seeking Images program. Another thank-you to Ford Motor Company for manufacturing the convertible Mustang, a perfect blend of power and comfort when driving to the Sur to dry out for a while.
Fuel TV got deeper into the world of Crawbling last week with the airing of an exclusive interview with Scott Percey and Jake Tierney on The Daily Habit. Please be on the lookout for the new series Stupid Face on Fuel TV that will feature the sixteen Unreel Sports documentaries Adam and Dave have been producing for the last 8 months.

Now check out this ripping article about Adam & Dave written by Toronto comedy ledend Nick Flanagan. Click Here To Read The Article
This is what one critic at Eye Magazine wrote about A&D's TIFF entries:
"Short films about romance tend to be boring or mawkish, but works that illuminate the Sisyphean ordeal of touch-tone phone menus are awesome. And so Adam Brodie and Dave Derewlany's progressively absurd comedy The Wrong Number towers above the other invariably deadly earnest entries in this program."
and then:
"The Racist Brick, the second film this year from Adam Brodie and Dave Derewlany, has a one-joke premise, but it's a great joke; these guys are funny."
P.S. Sorry that the new shorts in the Film/Video section do not actually play. The Webmaster is a total mongo.
14/08/05 – MOVING ON UP
