HEADSHOT: Is there anything funnier than a Snuff Film?

by Kurt Halfyard, June 12, 2009 2:46 PM

With all the recent posts on the upcoming World Wide Short Film Festival, I will label this a happy co-incidence. Dennis Heaton, the screenwriter of the charming Canadian Zombie picture Fido, directed this short in 2006, and it toured around on the festival circuit for a while, but he recently popped it up publicly online for all to enjoy. It is certainly a fine piece of comedy in which an enthusiastic actor auditions unbeknownst for a snuff film, only to have the filmmakers decide that, well, he is not a good enough actor. Hilarity ensues. Take that, Saw franchise. Full short is after the Jump.
