As promised, today's Indie Wednesday features a film from some of the fine chaps we met at Rivers Edge Film Fest. Hudson Phillips wrote it (impossible for me not to think Wilson Phillips when I see his name), Jordan Noel directed it, and Mandy Campbell produced it. We met all three of the Georgia residents and they were all very friendly except for Mandy. She was awful.
I'M KIDDING! Obviously they were all awful. A perfect reason to put their short film here and sing their praises, right? I'm dishing out some mindbending sarcasm today! (For anyone keeping official score, they were all actually very nice.)
Rooney's World was one of the most entertaining, well constructed, and original pieces in the Festival. It delivers a range of emotions with genuine sentiment. It's just a solid piece of work that made me laugh, but also made me feel sad at times for the main characters, Dave and Rooney. So, congrats to Hudson and Jordan for some fine work and all the success that has come with it.
Post Script: I dare you... I defy you... to watch this and not sing the Rooney's World theme song at some point during the day.
