Patrick Tamisiea and I worked together for a couple years at a digital production company and I loved his bizarre sense of humor. I found out he was in a sketch comedy group and started going to their shows and fell in love with them and said we had to turn one of them into a short. Brought in my buddy Nick Leeds, who is an accomplished comedy writer from TV, and we banged out this script that just had everybody in tears of laughter. I produced it over a weekend in a real Hungarian bodega in Burbank and started submitting to festivals just as the world was shutting down for Covid. But the film still got into almost 50 festivals, won a bunch of small plastic trophies. But it was always about finding a way to work together to make a passion project that we really wanted to see.
