Shorts spotlight: First Contact

Do you believe in aliens? You better.

This year we’re excited to host the WORLD PREMIERE of FIRST CONTACT!

Synopsis: When humankind sends a message into the farthest reaches of space it falls on a lowly alien courier to deliver the reply. Unfortunately the courier sent to make first contact with humanity pays less mind to the job in hand than he does to his nagging ex-wife and failed music career.

Director: Sami Abusamra

Laugh Track: How much time and energy did you spend making the movie?

Sami: I don’t want to think of the number of hours I put in to it.  I just don’t.  A lot I’ll bet.  A very lot.

Do you think it was worth all that time/energy?


Don’t be sarcastic.

No, honestly. Was it?

Don’t, like, tell anyone or anything, but I don’t even like the frickin’ film the film anymore.  I think it’s shite.

What’s the funniest thing that happened on set? And by funniest we mean the most horrible thing.

a) My Producer bled.  That was funny.
b) My lead actor was made to wear hot, heavy latex from 2am until 6pm on the hottest September day ever.
c) I killed a prostitute

Convince us why your film should win our top award. Best answer wins the award (joking…or are we?)

I’ve already written my speech.
