Three-Fifty the movie trailer


A video store customer's "little white lie" to weasel out of his late fees brings major consequences to his life. This film is a hilarious look at late fees, privacy rights and how much information is available at just the touch of a button.

What a fun piece this is! And how timely, too, considering all the hoopla about privacy. What's privacy, anyway? Does anybody think it really exits? Get over it.

Aspen ShortsFest was an outstanding experience. Our film "Three-Fifty" was screened twice and seen by about 600 people - Maurive Chauvet and I met lots of great people. Aspen ShortsFest is an outstanding experience and we recommend it to all short film makers - submit, submit. The volunteers are genuinely happy and helpful and everyone in Aspen is so curious about your film. Just a great and happy experience. There are three different distributors who are curious about our film, so stay tuned for more news on that front. Enjoy! http://www.aspenfilm.org

DID YOU KNOW...

Did you know that "$3.50" the movie was begun as a solar powered project? All rehearsals were held in a solar powered building, and the shoot was originally slated for solar power, too.

"$3.50" the short stage play is now "$3.50" the movie. Thanks to our loyal fans and audience - we appreciate that you found us "screechingly funny" and "especially hilarious".

You inspired us to make a film version of "$3.50" because there's nothing better than hearing a room full of people laugh and gasp at the insanity. Now, with your help, millions of people can "yuk it up" with us.

Forward the link to people with a sense of humor...;-)

Stay tuned for festival news, dates of screenings and notices of new works by Maurice Chauvet. (no, this is not his mother posting this.)
