One man’s lifelong mission for vengeance on all mimes leads him to the mother of all mime gatherings, “The Mime Workshop”.

Penetrating the mime lair, the Mad Man’s years of both hatred and unwitting respect for the craft of mime, culminate in an explosive moment of mayhem. With focus and clarity, the Mad Man uses the one method the mimes are powerless against, the dark side of mime. The method to the Man’s madness is revealed through a shocking faded memory from his childhood, of a disturbing encounter with a mime. This memory was the catalyst for the creation of a monster with a human soul.

The “Mime Massacre” leaves us with a highly debated question, just how powerful is the untapped human brain?... Or was it all just bullshit?

I came up with the concept for the “Mime Massacre” at a comedy club one night, and shared my idea with other comics. The consensus was that the idea of killing mimes through mime, was funny.

As a filmmaker with a background in stunts, special effects and stand up comedy, I wanted to create a film that entertained and incorporated all theses skills. Really, I just wanted to kill some mimes.

I approached David Barkes, a special FX coordinator that I was working with, about the idea and he loved it. And lucky for me, aside from being talented, he’s one sick and twisted S.O.B. He thought the gags were simple enough and could easily be done on a budget. Thank God, because I’m cheap!

Many talented and warped individuals in the film community eagerly jumped on board to kill mimes. That and we told them there would be punch and pie. Sadly there was not. Although it doesn’t show, some of the mimes are actually trained in the art of mime. The old adage is, “you get what you pay for!” And I did. I paid them nothing. Thankfully everyone involved in the “Mime Massacre” found it to be a fun and hilarious project.

Jah Bless!
