Synopsis

Rob, a harried Hollywood agent is dispatched to a trendy L.A. bar with strict orders to sign a hot new writer that he has never met. On the same night, Steve, a senstive gay man (with same first name as the writer) arrives at the bar to meet a blind date. Hilarity ensues when Rob and Steve mistake each other for the person they were supposed to meet.

AVAILABLE MEN - DVD RELEASE!!! Feb 01, 2007 07:35AM

After a great run on the festival circuit (90 festivals & 12 “Best Short Film” awards) our little movie, AVAILABLE MEN is being released on DVD January 30th by Wolfe Video. It’s one of 7 truly hilarious and accomplished short films on a compilation entitled (oddly enough) AVAILABLE MEN. Now, all we have to do is sell it! And at a mere $19.95, it a steal! It should be at Blockbuster (ask for it!) and can easily be purchased online via Wolfe Video: http://www.wolfevideo.com/products.asp?R=633&id=1256 (** If you purchase it using this link, I get an extra nickel or something! ) Please feel free to FORWARD this email on to others – particularly to folks who live outside of L.A. and N.Y. (two cities where the film has already been widely seen). Thanks a million! Wishing everybody a very Happy New Year!

My film is a fifteen minute comedy that pretty darn funny if I do say so myself. It premiered at the HBO US Comedy Festival back in March '06 and since that time it's been booked into 18 festivals (as of today, May 17, 2006). I'm looking for a festival / or other venue to get it seen in Los Angeles.
