Okay, it's not hard to see why the "Who Makes Movies" PSA's are such an easy target of parody, which means there are a lot of spoofs around. I've seen quite a few of them and none of them are as well-scripted or shot as beautifully as this one. You'll have to see this one twice because I was laughing through most of the jokes and missing the ones that come after. Tom Konkle, who stars as our hero, Randy Palmer, does an amazing job in this role. If I didn't know better, I would have thought he was a fluffer in real life because he pulls it off so well. I was happy to see this short being screened at the Newport Beach Film Festival and know it'll have continued success at other film festivals as well.
