The first screening of a special day-long retrospective celebrating the work of acclaimed Hollywood comedy film-maker Roger Nygard!
Directed by Roger Nygard // Rated PG
Thane Furrows is an extremely cynical but unintentionally hilarious children’s book writer who has nurtured a decidedly strange perspective of the world (he has a problem with just about everything–with the possible exception of ferrets, that is: “they have a cool attitude”). Thane wakes up one morning and, since pretty much everyone and everything annoys him, begins another day of turbo-complaining. However, the day proves to be much different when Thane begins to receive strange phone calls, letters, and voices, all indicating something will happen at 8 o’clock.
Is it real? Is it a practical joke? Or is Thane going crazy? As the day goes on, Thane rants and raves and battles with a maniacally-suicidal fly as the clock slowly ticks closer to his destiny. Directed and edited by Roger Nygard. Written by and starring Steve Oedekerk; also starring Thomas F. Wilson, Denise Crosby, Fred Willard, Jani Lane, and featuring an early cameo by a very young Kirsten Dunst.
