THE BUNNY FILM

When I was in college, I had a roommate named Vinnie... he was one of those guys who loved movies, and loved making backyard films. Sure, lots of people do stuff like that, but Vinnie did a film with his brother Andy that - as far as I'm concerned - is one of those rare gems in which art, entertainment, comedy and tragey all merge into something truly wonderful.
It was known, simply, as "The Bunny Film" - and it is my immense pleasure to showcase it here:

Andy, you are not forgotten.

Wow. Disturbing - but fun.

Wow, thanks John! Of course this little video is very near and dear to my heart, though watching it now it's hard for me not to think how differently I would do it. In rare moments of insanity I think about re-editing it or even reshooting in with my younger brother Alex, but it stands as a wonderful shrine to someone I loved dearly.

We showed this bit on Loose Change TV (www.loosechange.tv) and it got a lot of positive feedback. The most asked question: "Why isn't this guy in your cast as a regular? he's awesome!" We also had a Climax Michigan Parade segment where Vinnie played the professor on our Gilligan's island float, which spawned the same exact question. Alas, we could never bend time and space to make Vinnie get a job in the Detroit area.
