Here is the special preview of the 30 minute abridged version of the award winning "The History of Everything Circa 1993 to the Present Formerly Known As KIssy Cousins Monster Babies and Morphing Elvis." This short version director's cut, titled "Kissy Cousins" stands on its own as a comedy film. It has received more than thirty film festival laurels and awards.
The film stars Davide Belafonte, Stephen Kearney and Jack Plotnick. It was directed by Wayne J. Keeley, and Produced by Craig Dobson and Stephanie C. Lyons-Keeley,
A knock-down, drag-out hilarious mockumentary inspired by the ’90s Hollywood era and the famed bromance between Jon Peters and Peter Gruber, the movie moguls who were once so close they needed joint therapy sessions to maintain their reign.
It’s circa mid-1990s – the fantasmagoric era when anything may go and it ultimately did. In the days when Spielberg’s dinosaurs ruled the cineplexes and Japan overtook America’s movie studios, you’ll come face-to-face with the madcap Peter Grover and John Potters, a frustrated duo of Hollywood producers who’ve hit it big and are expected to do so again – and soon. Their current assignment from the studio boss is to develop a brilliantly boffo box office smash by the end of the day or face the consequences – they’ll be swimming with the fishes by sundown. In a desperate attempt to save both their fading careers as well as their lives, they put their addled brains together to find inspiration for a blockbuster film script – a task they’ve never done before.
In a wild, warped voyage through the history of celluloid magic, including a visit from the infamous Sharon Stain, they draw piece by piece from old movies, pop culture, and sudden and altogether unexpected bursts of creativity from deep within their twisted imaginations. Their creativity knows no bounds and neither does this film.
Fasten your seatbelts, for a wacky game of silver screen Trivial Pursuit in an homage-filled, riotous ride through the 90s and beyond. This satirical look at the movie-making process detours left, right and slantways with sidebars and segues into politics and social mores.
The feature version has not been released yet. Hopefully, this 30 minute version will whet one's appetite for the soon-to-be-released The History of Everything -- F/K/A Kissy Cousins Monster Babies and Morphing Elvis."
