The Guatemalan Handshake

A friend of mine who makes some "warped-in-a-good-way" films is raising money for his new film, The Guatemalan Handshake. I know nothing about the film except that it probably involves robots, or breakdancing, because most of his films involve robots or breakdancing. But these aren't Hollywood gimmicks. Hollywood would make a film about a breakdancing robot with a talking dog and a man with a handlebar mustache who wants $500,000 or he's going to destroy half of North America.

He's holding a fundraiser at Visions for his new film. It is better than most fundraisers because you get to see a lot of short movies for the ticket price, $10. Also, if you tell him you know me, he will give you a cube of cheese on a toothpick.

The fundraiser--or, as some call it, Robot Monkey Dance Party USA 1984, is next Tuesday the 6th.
