Post Premiere


On Friday August 15, 2014, the Almost Fairytales cast and crew of Mr. Clean, Home Wrecker were jazzed to participate in the El Cid ShortFilm Showcase. This was the world premiere for AFF’s latest project, a comedic short parodying the famed cleaning product’s mascot’s commercial campaigns of the 1950s.

The El Cid is a lovely theater laced with old Hollywood heritage. D.W. Griffith was known to shot several of his epics right next to the building.
  

 

              
This was the first time El Cid Short Film Showcase coordinator, Mike McCarthy ran the event on a Friday. The theater was a bustle in anticipation for the 7 short films. Each was premiering and done by LA filmmakers.
 
Thanks to everyone for joining in on our big day. We will be distributing Mr. Clean, Home Wrecker digitally very soon. So, please stay tuned!!!

 Their relationship results in something a little less than professional.

Our crew consisted of Nicholas Mandri (Director of Photography), MeghanCaly Dillon (Production Designer), Alexandra French (Makeup Artist), BobHeinbokel (Composer/ Sound Mixer), Nick Gorglione (Production Accountant),  Andrew Renslow (Screenwriter), Lindsey Myers (Film Editor) and Jessica Renslow (Director).
 

 
We are also happy to announce that Mr. Clean, Home Wrecker will have its worldwide premier at the historic El Cid Theater.
