2003: Eviction Notice

Date of Creation: 2003

Via Dan.

Synopsis: Eric and Bill are roommates.  As Bill becomes worse and worse in that relationship, Eric decides to do what he must; Get rid of Bill.

A Brief History: Film 1 is the time in a young man's life when he gets the chance to do what he's always wanted, but then remembers he doesn't have words, sound, or even image quality to get a story across.  Harlan Ellison would cringe at the following statement, but this, at it's core, is a Merry Melody.  A cartoon.  My film professor at the time commented "I do not think this is a very believable story".

Featuring stellar performances by both Eric Enger and Bill Parmentier, a quick amazing performance by our friend Jamahl and his dog, i still really like this once it gets going.  Some of the gags don't work or have the right payoff, but i still think the ending is one of my favorites.

At the time of the making of this film, I was not even living with roommates, so not only is this not autobiographical, it has no basis in reality.  It should be noted that well after this was made, Bill did actually become my roommate...

..Luckily, he never found that box labeled "Property U.S. Government"
