NYC: "SNEAKY BUSINESS" SNEAKY SNAKE PREMIERS AT STONEWALL
George Sanders and Shawn Curran will premier their short film "Sneaky Business": An Offshore Account of Human Trafficking - Broadway Style at STONEWALL INN SHOWROOM (53 Christopher Street, NYC - 212-488-2705) on Monday, April 5th at 8:00 pm. In this 24-minute musical-comedy short film, Sneaky Snake (a green sock-puppet snake), stars as an altruistic people-smuggler who assists twelve singers from NYC in sneaking into Canada for free Health Care, Gay Marriage, Medical Marijuana, and a sensible Government. Sneaky's last film, "Sneaky Snake: Lost in the Holy Land," won ten awards at various domestic and international film festivals addressing the hot topics of genital mutilation, religious zealotry and war, with hilarious results. This film addresses the issues that have been concerning liberal US citizens for the past few years now, namely: the war, health care, and gay marriage. But that's not to say that this is a serious film. It's a madcap romp, a slapstick fantasy, a vaudevillian-comedy cult-film, with singing. With more than a nod to The Marx Brothers' "Monkey Business," writer-directors George Sanders and Shawn Curran have come up with a laugh-out-loud look at the disenchanted in the 21st Century who must resort to Human Trafficking in order to secure their Human Rights. Filmed guerilla-style with no budget or crew, Sanders and Curran assembled many of their talented co-workers from New York City's piano-bar community to act and sing in the comedy. Says Sanders, "Everyone is unique and so much fun to work with in the piano-bars. We couldn't wait to do a film together." Joining the creative team again is composer/musician Bobby Peaco, who wrote and arranged all the music, and with whom Sanders and Curran have performed live for over ten years. Free Admission.
