"Shifting Baselines Lesson #36: How to Lower Your Standards in Dating"
a special two-minute 1950's style educational film
QuickTime: Low (5 MB)
Seven minutes of it are hilarious, the other minute totally blows.
"The Date" went two days over schedule and $1000 over budget.
This is the most we have ever spent on a film, and it paid off by getting
"The Date" into many film festivals, where it's won such awards as
"Best Film," "Best Cast," "Best Ass," "Best Comedy Short" and $500 cash (half of it's budget!)
