EdsvilleWhat happens when an innocent young couple stumbles upon a town of Ed Sullivan impersonators!
Reviews: "Director Alan Marr's wryly funny 14-minute short is a one-trick pony. But what a trick, what a horse! A short film is the tiny perfect way to tell this bizarre story." - Jam Movies "..perfectly paced and acted, right down to the facial twitch." Valerie Gregory - Edmonton Sun "...overwhelming silliness..." "...a delight... insane... fun." Marc Horton - Edmonton Journal "...the most anticipated flick at this year's filmfest [Festival of Festivals]..." George Anthony - Toronto Sun "...the horror in Edsville is rare and refined..." Peter Gzowsksi - CBC Morningside "...whimsical... nifty..." John Haslett Cuff - Globe & Mail "One of the funniest shorts..." Sarah Evans - Now Magazine "..long on craft and cleverness..." "... a whimsical delight..." Bruce Kirland - Toronto Sun "...an hilarous Canadian short..." Michele Hall - CBC Halifax Arts & Entertainment "..a crazy town..an ideal retreat from reality... wowed sellout crowds at Toronto's Festival of Festivals... very bizarre... very funny..." Mike Duffy - Sunday Edition "On the lighter side ... Alan Marr's "Edsville"... The 14-minute film ends just as the joke begins to run out of steam."
