One of the neat little things about being one of the editors of Tumblr’s film section is that I’m e-mailed daily by directors and producers who want me to plug their projects. While I think that the gesture is great, most of the stuff I’ve been sent thus far hasn’t really been worthy of plugging. 

That changed today.

This morning I received an e-mail from Darren Miller asking me to watch ‘Charlie on Parole,’ which is this fantastic short film starring the always hilarious TJ Miller (Cloverfield, She’s Out of My League).

If you like the film, feel free to follow the guys that made it below:

Three years ago, Paul Briganti, Kevin Mead, and I made this 22 minute short film, starring TJ Miller.

Over time, we recut it, and decided recently to release it on the internet to the public.

This was by far the hardest thing I’d ever done in my entire life.  I was a junior in college and knew nothing about how to make a film; all I knew is that I wanted to.  So I worked my ass off.  And Paul and Kevin did even more so - they co-directed this, and it’s something I’m very proud of.

I know it’s not the kind of thing you can watch while you’re doing 8 other things, so if you happen to find a free 20 minutes and want to watch, I hope you like it.

Trying to release this online and make it successful without approaching traditional distribution channels is a bit of an experiment, so if you’re able to help out at all by passing this video around, we would love you.  Passionately.  It would last forever until we die together at the same time while making out at the age of 6000.

CHARLIE ON PAROLE (official website)

Starring TJ Miller, Molly Ryman, Joe Wengert, Lynn Laurence, Mitch Wissick, and Bobby Moynihan.

Written by Kevin Mead, Paul Briganti, and Darren Miller.

Directed by Paul Briganti and Kevin Mead

Produced by Darren Miller, Kevin Mead, and Paul Briganti

Music by Emily Axford, Plushgun, and Jukebox The Ghost.

Thanks for the well written description of passion, Darren!

We made this film a few years ago and were lucky enough to have a bunch of friends and very talented people be in it. 

I’m really happy people can see it. It is a very long watch for the internet, but if you have nothing to do on your lunch break, tune in!!

Yea, thanks Darren! And thanks Paul! And thanks to every person who helped us make this happen. 

For a short, this film has changed so many times since the initial cut, and I am really happy with where it ended up. Pretty much everything I’ve learned about writing and filmmaking can be tracked according to the progress of this film, and I owe that to all the incredibly talented people who helped us make this. Thanks everyone! And if you haven’t seen it, check it out, yo!
