God’s Holiday

Sketch by Michael DeNicola

So, after a two month hiatus from posting, I decided to update everyone on my next endeavor, entitled God’s Holiday.  Sounds pretty religious doesn’t it? Well, it’s not. The film is actually anything but.  It’s a seven minute short written co-directed by yours truly, and Sir. David C. Diaz.  This is an offbeat surrealist comedy, distorting reality and flipping it on its head.

This is an excerpt from the email I sent to my actors to prep them for this mind aching piece.

It is impossible to personalize these characters because they are not human, they do not exist, they are just symbolic representations of human motivations, death, consumerism and a new spin on a common cliche of blurring the lines between good and evil.

This is not just an offbeat comedy, I am attempting to create a surrealist piece that skews cognitive responses and unearths the subconscious. This film thrives on explaining situations as black and white, no shades of grey. It just is what is it type of deal.

Production for the flick starts tomorrow morning and I’m stoked! The creative juices are flowing again. Hopefully it doesn’t rain on my parade.
