Half-handed Cloud: Once, Twice, Seven Times a Werewolf

I just found out this video I made 3 years ago was posted on YouTube by Asthatic Kitty records. I have little doubt that the criterion collection edition of my filmography will feature this as an extra and everyone will say "Oh now I see where it all began"

Preview Reviews: Unaccompanied Minors

The focus groups found EVERYTHING to make this movie the best of the year. Kids rapping? Check. Kids saving Christmas? Check. Kids punching angry adults in the crotch? Check.

If this preview doesn't work for you there are about 7 or 8 additional Unaccompanied Minors previews in circulation on your TV set right now. Perhaps you would prefer a little more of the 'Lewis Black yells because angry=funny' trailer. Or the heartwarming 'You are so not a loser now let's totally make out' trailer. But the best is the 'Lil' Chris Rock raps, then is confronted by Angry Lewis Black (is there any other kind?), then retorts with an innocent, sweet "I've got a song in my heart"' trailer. Because we all have a song in our heart, and so often that song is a rap detailing the major plot points of the past few hours from our lives.

Rarely is a preview released that tries to play so many angles yet still successfully reveals exactly what the film will be about. And this film is about one thing: Unaccompanied Minors Stranded at the Airport Stuck in a Snowstorm All Alone. The more you watch the trailer, the song is no longer sung by Lil' Chris Rock but instead it is sung by every annoying cousin or sibling you know, and you feel compelled to watch the film when it premiers on ABC Family next winter.
