Hi everybody!
This page is going to sort of be the homebase for this stupid idea. It came from drunk and it’s presented by Metcalf Loves You, Twins Are Weird and the Glasslands bar in Brooklyn.
A few more details on this thing. We’d like to receive your entries at least a week before the show so let’s say July 6. Email them to metcalflovesyou@gmail.com. SD! Dumb shit does not deserve HD. We’re going to burn it to a DVD.
The plan at this point is that pretty much everything gets in. However, if you’re a dick, we’ll be dicks, too. So if you send us something seriously uncool like thirty seconds of a blank frame, a clip from a WIP or strobing nothing, you can fuck right off cause we aren’t playing it. And don’t worry, we’ll let you know IMMEDIATELY if you fall into that category. Also HOOOOOOLY SHIT, credits better be fucking short. That longer than the film gag is deader than zombie t-rex. We will call you out at the show so you can bow, be ashamed of yourself etc.
We’re going to post some examples of beloved dumb shit here so check back or follow us.
For god’s sake, don’t spend a lot of time on this. Make it fast, make it dumb. If this thing’s a success, it may become a regular thing.
We love you,
Metcalf and The Twins
P.S. One more thing and it’s a PROTIP: this exercise in dumb can lead to bigger and better things. Minus the pressure to do anything good, I wound up with a very stupid idea that spun into my next real film. I’ll have to do a different dumb thing but hey SCORE.
