DON’T LITTER IN PROSPECT PARK!! | b-horror short

TAGLINE: YOU LITTER YOU DIE

LOGLINE: A trio of greasers attempt a sadistic takeover of Prospect Park to make it more mean. Little do they know, an obsessively anti-littering madman lurks in the woods preying on them.

Official selection of the Shockfest Film Festival and the NYC Comedy Film Festival.

Christopher was motivated to produce a satirical film after his beloved park was vandalized by complete…. assholes! It was the worst the park has ever seen, every trashcan was kicked over, litter was thrown everywhere, including the dog pond. It was horrible and he wanted bloody vengeance!

After partaking in the cleanup he was still pissed so he wrote a script where the characters who play litterbugs are idiots. Yes, these greasers with the big John Travolta hair are wonderfully stupid and are hunted down by a deranged madman wearing a mask made out of a recycled plastic milk jug. His heavy breathing fury results in over the top carnage.

“It’s so dumb, it’s brilliant,” said one person at a test screening. Press:

We shot our film over 2 days using a Blackmagic Pocket 4K in early October. The cast and crew were not only professional but also understood how I wanted to use satire to make a broader point. It's the most ridiculous anti-littering campaign ever. 

This was soon after the park was vandalized. I was so angry, but as a filmmaker, I thought of a cathartic way of dealing with my rage. Writing the characters as complete idiots was so much fun, along with having them hunted down by a madman wearing a recycled plastic mask was the cherry on top.
