This Oscar Nominated Filmmaker's Work Is So "Delicious", It's Really Not Safe For Work (VIDEO)

Oscar Nominated Alum Colin Campbell (C'91, President of Intuitons, Without A Net, Penn in Pictures 2001 panelist) has created a great 4 minute video he directed for Instant Films, a 48 hour Los Angeles film festival. Colin drew the script and then the cast out of a hat on Saturday morning and by Sunday night he handed in the finished film.

And Colin is no stranger to directing films by any means. In fact his short film "Seraglio" was nominated for an Oscar back in 2000. This was a great film that we showcased in our first Los Angeles Pennfest 2002 (photos HERE, program HERE) and am trying to see if we can get it posted on DT at some point soon.

"Delicious" is definitely on the not-safe-for-work side.  ...So much in fact that the video and the image I'm using for this post associated with this film can only be seen when you expand the post by clicking HERE.

*Besides Colin, we actually have two other Penn alumni whose short film was nominated for an Oscar in 2006.  Get the scoop HERE and watch their film!

Their Brilliant Mockumentary: "Dungeons and Dragons" Meets "Waiting for Guffman"

A bunch of Penn undergrads including some of the talented actors from Penn's improv group Without a Net as well as some Drexel improv group students partnered together to create Wizards of West Philly, a mockumentary that can be best described as Dungeons and Dragons meets the TV stylings of "The Office" and/or the film Waiting for Guffman.  

Although instead of Dungeons and Dragons, this very well done short is about the followers of another (apparently) popular game called "Magic".  Producer Dave Farber (C'11) describes the game to me as "a newer generation thing, though there are adults (some as old as 40 we found) who play the game."

Per Wikipdeia, Magic can be described as

"Magic: The Gathering is a collectible card game created by a UPenn Mathematics Graduate Student named Richard Garfield and introduced in 1993. It is loosely based on the game Dungeons and Dragons, where each player is a wizard who utilizes the magical spells, items, and fantastic creatures depicted on individual Magic cards to defeat their opponents. The game is intended for a younger audience, but has a large following among young (and not so young) adults. There are Magic grand prixs and tournaments in the U.S. much akin to Poker tournaments where players compete for cash prizes. In 2006, over $3 million was doled out in Magic tournaments across the U.S.

Watch the video above...it really is well produced!   And is it me or does Anthony Levy (C'11) remind you of Saturday Night Live's Bill Hader?

Penn actors:
Anthony Levy (C'11), Molly Mitchell (C'11), Joe Lawless (C'12), Lucy Wolf (C'12),

Drexel's actors:
Jake Beckerman - Drexel '09, Luke Giordano - Drexel '09

The crew that worked on it were from Prof. Ellen Reynolds Video 1 class:
Dave Farber (C'09), Tom Fang (W'10), Aliza Fischer (C'09), Jason Rasmussen (W'12), Kirstin Snyder (W'12)

TV Writer and Animator Alumni Team Up for Comedy Central Series

(l to r): Ryan Levin (CAS, '98) & Nye Warburton (C'97)

And here's another example of alumni who knew each other at Penn and continued working together to create some great projects...

Ryan Levin (C '98, Without a Net, Theater Arts, Penn Players) and Nye Warburton (C '97, Without a Net) have co-created a new animated Comedy Central web series for Benny: Escaped Convict.

This 4-episode web series will air on Comedy Central's Atom TV on June 23 (2 am!), and then launch on June 26 on Comedy Central's new website here.

The series follows Benny's adventures as he tries to elude the fuzz and avoid going back to the slammer.

Per Ryan, "Our goal is to continue Benny as a web series, with the hope of eventually developing it into a TV series. The future of Benny rides on the success of the webisodes, so please, check em out and pass them along."

Be sure to listen for another Penn alum, Vanessa Mizzone (C'99), who voices a variety of characters in the series.

Check out the trailer here!
