A very funny little "silent" film which has appeared in many film festivals around the World. I attended its premiere at the Seattle Film Festival, where I was delighted to hear the couple in front of me turn to each other and say "Great music!".
I was lead composer along with Mark Sheperd and Ron DeWolf. I composed the first 2:48 minutes, then from 7:07 to the end. And, oh yeah, I played the piccolo in this film, the instrument for the $100,000,000,000 Pen! In the first cue, I was inspired by Debussy's Gollywogs Cakewalk, perfect for a bumbling but sweet nerd. My favorite is the Mime/accordian cue...and the flick of the cigarette timed with the xylophone glissando.
I was given a Women in Film Nell Shipman Award for this film.
