The
Paul Decca Story
Throughout the late 50's and early 60's, Paul Decca had a string
of hits... all about the number 17. 'Sweetheart 17', '17 Dreams',
'17 Fever' and of course his novelty song about westerns, '17
Wagon Trains'.
But
Paul was getting restless. He wanted to write his own songs. Express
himself his way. That's when he went and broke his winning formula,
by writing the folk tune 'The World is not 16'. From that point
on things got weird. The numbers got lower, he slowly lost his
fan base until that fateful Sullivan Appearance in 1964.
The
Paul Decca story is a story about innocence. It's the story of
an inadvertently revolutionary singer, because let's face it;
you can't cross the boundaries if you don't know what they are. |

Return
of the Hero
Meet Scott Adams: filmmaker, comedian, artist, vegetarian. He’s
from Hollywood. Actually, he’s from New Jersey, and he just
got back to his hometown with a pressing question: What did Thomas
Wolfe mean when he said, “You can’t go home again”?
With an expensive crew from California to document the experience,
Scott finds his opus will not be realized with ease and that his
“return” is not celebrated by anyone but himself.
“Return of the Hero” (ROTH) is a mockumentary comedy
short and a zany and outlandish character piece, written as a tribute
to the comedy of Albert Brooks. |

The
Proper Care & Feeding of an American Messiah
'The Proper Care & Feeding of an American Messiah' is the mock
documentary story of a man who thinks he is a messiah. Not the messiah,
but rather a local, regionally-selected messiah for his own hometown.
He's on a quest, desperately trying to raise money for a town-wide
rally where he hopes to announce his deity -- and to determine his
true, God-given 'special purpose' in life. Which may or may not
have something to do with ailments of the lower gastrointestinal
tract, but he won't be sure until he hears more or less directly
from God. |
