Description: Short film about a boss making an unreasonable request and the conflict that ensues. filmed in 2001. Filmed in the old Miami Springs Health Food Store. Now Closed. What is the SmokeNProfits short film series? The SmokeNProfits short films are independent and underground films. They are low budget or better yet zero budget. We made these over the years and are producing more now than ever. The earliest ones go back to maybe 1994-1996. The include the genres horror and comedy and drama and experimental and obviosly documentry. The early ones will probably never make the Sundance fim festival let alone win an academy award. But being that nothing is impossible you may one day see us with an oscar trophy. Maybe playing the whole set for the French at Cannes. These films are hardcore in the sense of realism. They are also dreams and dream like in the German expressionist sense. Many scenes are straight from the French New Wave. Hand held camera and all. You'll see the influences of our favorite directors like Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles and Jean Renoir and Stanley Kubrik and Sam Peckinpah. Even Salvador Dali and Andre Bunel. Modern directors such as Martin Scoreses and Tarantino and Paul Thomas Anderson and even Steven Spielberg himself. We've watched and thought about urban directors like John Singleton and Spike Lee and even Mario Van Peebles (for New Jack City ). Comedy films also are a major inspiration from people Kevin Smith and Broken Lizard and CKY ( Camp Kill Yourself ) which is connected to Jackass and the Wild Boys. Really there is to many to name, but here is a few more greats Ingmar Bergman and the great Werner Herzog. These films will show improv or better yet improvisational acting and freestyle comedy at it's root. The films are rough and ready, take it or leave it, cowboy outlaw wild west stuff. Tune in, Turn on, or Drop out. Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters are a very strong in there influence also and so is Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin and Jackie Chan. So enjoy yourself or feel free to criticize and analyze. The truth only makes us better. Please comment and post responses because we want to be a part of indie film around the whole world. Go ahead and steal our ideas(though if we catch you infringing our copy rights our lawyers will sue your ass to the wall). We take from all film and movie and video and animation and whatever sources we run across(although we always put our original spin on it). We are always a film student.

SmokeNProfits ::: Favorites That wasn't the original meaning of the film(we didn't have any racial considerations), but it did come out in the finished product. Thanks for pointing it out. Also Latino's(with Indian blood) are only taking the U.S. back. Being that they had it for thousands of years. 07-04-09 00:24:46 __________________________________________________
