HAPPY ENDINGS Short Film

Director:  George Parker

Screenwriter:  George Parker, Adam Castillo, Kerianne Ennis

Editors:  Adam Castillo, Kerianne Ennis

Colorists:  Ryan Nguyen, Dan Diaz

Starring: Lauren Haworth, Joel Orr, Drake Simpson, and featuring Bobby Haworth

This 2016 - Houston 48 Hour Film Project - 2nd Place Overall Winner - was the collaborative product of an amazing group of people. Many of us knew each other but this specific group of creatives had never come together all at once until this film, which consequently won 11 Awards. Happy Endings won both Lauren Haworth and Joel Orr Best Actor awards, as well as a plethora of Editing, Directing, and Sound Design awards.

Impossible Sound

Director:  George Parker

Director of Photography: Kerianne Ennis

Editors: George Parker, Kerianne Ennis

Starring: Jeff Miller, Greg Dean

This micro-short film was made as a promo video for The Catastrophic Theatre's production of "The Hunchback Variations" by Mickle Maher. We were very lucky to have collaborated with some of the Two Star Symphony members (Cathy Powers, Chris Bakos, Jerry Ochoa, Margaret Elmore, Joe Wozny, John Duboise) for the soundtrack. While watching the film via projector, the group improvised various musical effects to match each sound cue. It is still one of our favorites!

The Danube Promo

Director:  George Parker

Director of Photography: Kerianne Ennis

Editors: George Parker, Kerianne Ennis

Starring: Amy Bruce, Troy Schulze

This trippy piece of entertainment was made for The Catastrophic Theatre to promote their production of "The Danube" written by María Irene Fornés. Its strange tone and eerie vibe, due in part to some fun timelapse tricks, set the stage for an amazing performance. Fun fact: Editing the timelapse footage of the dying flower to correlate with the sound of a heart beating took some serious math and a whole lot of midnight oil to get it just right.

Song About Himself Promo

Director:  George Parker

Director of Photography: Kerianne Ennis

Editor: George Parker

Starring: Tamarie Cooper

Here is another great promo video for The Catastrophic Theatre - can you tell that we adore them? This fun and also slightly trippy video is a teaser for the show "Song About Himself" by Mickle Maher. Many of these promos are filmed with a serious time constraint due to the schedules of those involved. This one was no different! We built and painted that door white just a few hours before shooting with Tamarie at the Blue Ribbon Digital Media studio in Houston.

Everything Will Be Different Promo

Director:  George Parker

Director of Photography: Kerianne Ennis

Editors: George Parker, Kerianne Ennis

Starring: Clarity Welch, Christina Kelly, Dayne Lathrop, Jeff Miller, Mateo Mpinduzi-Mott

This Catastrophic Theatre teaser was for the show "Everything Will Be Different" by Mark Schultz and, much like the show itself, is both endearing and painfully harsh. With a style resembling a game show, this video took a good bit of pre-production and planning to get everything timed out correctly and looking its best. And, of course, we got to do some of our editing magic in post as well, which we suspect you'll never notice!

Tamarie For President Promo/Teaser

Director:  George Parker

Director of Photography: Kerianne Ennis

Editor: Kerianne Ennis

Starring: Tamarie Cooper, The MATCH

For this promo/teaser, we not only had the pleasure of promoting The Catastrophic Theatre and their show Tamarie For President, but we also had the opportunity to show off the new Midtown Arts and Theater Center of Houston. We had a blast with Tamarie as we zipped around the beautiful campus highlighting all the things to be grateful for with the same humor and spunk as the show itself.

Thom Pain (based on nothing) Teaser

Director:  Kerianne Ennis, George Parker

Director of Photography: Kerianne Ennis

Editor: Kerianne Ennis

Starring: George Parker, Lauren Haworth, Jonas Parker, Kiba Ennis (woof!)

This dreamy teaser was made for the one-man show "Thom Pain, based on nothing" written by Will Eno and produced The Catastrophic Theatre. Our very own George Parker was the star, though you may not recognize him with the glasses and without the beard! We would also like to introduce the on-screen talent of Jonas Parker (George's 8 year old son) and Kiba Ennis (Kerianne's beloved dog). Do enjoy!

University Of Tamarie Teaser

Director:  George Parker

Director of Photography: George Parker

Editor: George Parker

Starring: Tamarie Cooper & Company

Check out this zainey show teaser for a sneak peek behind the scenes of the show "The University of Tamarie" produced by The Catastrophic Theatre. It will not disappoint you! Or maybe it will and you'll learn something about FMJ, The Catastrophic Theatre, and most importantly, about yourself. xoxo

Widowmaker Short Film

Director/Writer: George Parker

Director of Photography: Kerianne Ennis

Editor: Dan Ko

Colorist: Ryan Nguyen

Starring: Courtney Lomelo, Kyle Fermin, Mike Marlowe

This 2011 entry to the Houston 48 Hour Film Festival won the team an Audience Choice Award, a Best Use of Prop Award, and Best Actress Award for the lovely Courtney Lomelo. If you watch all the way until the end you just might get a peek at a certain director's cameo ;)

Trevor Teaser

Director:  George Parker

Director of Photography: Kerianne Ennis

Editors: Kerianne Ennis, George Parker

Starring: Kyle Sturdivant, Carolyn Johnson

For this Catastrophic Theatre teaser of "Trevor," written by Nick Jones, FMJ had to bust out some tedious effects and we are quite pleased with the final product!
