2005: I'm Sorry, Mr. Reeves




Date of Creation: 2005

Synopsis: Darryl Reeves is about to experience the worst (and possibly last) day of his life. With the news of his impending doom occuring moments after his wife leaves him and his stupid mustache, he has mere hours to write her out of his will. Can he make it to his attorney's office before sundown??!!!

A Brief History: Our final entry into the 48 Hour Film Challenge, a festival that gives you only 48 hours to make and submit a movie, I would offer that this was by far our best. Todd Spence gives a stunning performance as Mr. Reeves, and the story moves along nicely. Getting a cop to chase him on a girls bike down a major street was definitely a highlight.

It also led to the improv creation of one of my favorite mantras in life: Think fast, live forever.
