Escape Pod Films: The Stryker Files 4: Fistful of Strykers

Last month our buddies at Escape Pod made the final episode of their Channel101 comedy epic “The Stryker Files” – this is it! I stood around and play both a dead body and a robot, so there’s also that to look forward to. Enjoy!

Also, dudes from Waverly and Decoy Squad are in it. So that’s three web comedy powerhouses. And me.

Our newest short, made for the 48 Hour Film Project (New York).

With a crew of two (David and Kim), new gear, and a new editing system (to accommodate the new gear) we chugged through a weekend of filming.

We first drew Musical or Western and didn’t really have the cast, props, crew, song writing ability for either of those, so we re-drew and got Martial Arts or Stoner film.  Another really difficult/weird choice!

We came up with a really goofy Martial Arts film, and had fun making it. Not our most polished piece, but a good time was had by all.

Kyle Walters (Kyle Walters) is a lazy, watchin’ tv kinda guy. Benjamin Grimes (Alan MacDougall) has an epic past of trial and triumph in the world of Martial Arts. Today, Grimes uses his training and concentration from his years in the martial arts as a Professional Organizer, and pays a visit to Kyle’s messy apartment.
Also starring Brian Morvant (Bringing up Bobby) and Vince Ortega (Mamma Mia! on Broadway).

Elements:
Character: Benjamin Grimes, Professional Organizer
Prop: Set of keys
Line: “You’re not going to believe what I just heard”

Since Danny Jelinek has posted high-quality versions of his show for Channel101:LA on Youtube, I am pleased to be able to post it here. It’s one of the better creations for the format in some time. It’s fun to watch, awesomely trippy, and has a great soundtrack. If you like them, make sure to support Danny by rating, subscribing, and letting him know!
