Diggin' Mockfest Muchly.

So, Mockfest!

This was the festival’s 2^nd year, and we’ve been there both years (last year with My Life in Subtitles, and this year with Children of Scum: A Retrospective). Festival director G.R. Claveria put together a really nice collection of mockumentary flicks. This year, he could be seen running around with his video camera, taping everything in sight. Co-host Alesha Noice was very charming and engaging, introducing each film (or program of films) and keeping everything running smoothly.

The fest was held at the Vine theatre in Hollywood – really cool single-screen theatre on Hollywood Blvd, normally showing 2^nd or 3^rd run movies. Great location – my only complaint is that, half the time, the air conditioning wasn’t working … so you’d go from the hot outside … to the not-much-cooler inside.

I caught a bunch of flicks, but a couple stood out – if you have a chance to catch them at a future fest, please do:

Virgin Wanted – really well-done mock about a cute 30 year old redhead who wants to lose her virginity to another virgin, so she holds interviews and goes out with the top 3 candidates. Trouble is, her top 3 turn out to be a Racist, an In Denial Gay Guy, and a Stud who’s nowhere near a virgin. Great dialogue and performances by the redhead and the 3 candidates. The comedy never felt forced and was very Guestian, coming very naturally from the characters.

The One That Got Away – clever mock about a guy who’s trying to find Miss Right, but just can’t seem to sustain a lasting relationship … more than likely because he’s a serial killer, and chops up all of his dates. The movie follows him as he tries to reconnect with an old girlfriend who he turns out to have a lot in common with…

Anyway, we had a blast. They’re planning on another fest next year, so check it out if you can.
