Comic turned filmmaker releases anthology

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on March 1st, 2007

From the MicroCinema site: “Hitmen, Clowns, Leprechauns, Living Suits, Killer Doughnuts and Angry Street Cleaners can all be seen in Filmmaker Chris Mancini’s MYOPIC VISIONS. With a unique vision of Science Fiction and Comedy, this compilation presents all of Chris’ award winning short films in one place for the first time.

The films have played such prestigious festivals as Slamdance, HBO’s U.S. Comedy Arts, London Sci Fi Film Festival, and many others.”

We mention it here because Mancini started out life as a comic. And we mention it here also because Mancini started his comic life in Philly. His films (all of them, according to Mancini) contain at least one comedian. He’s directed Jay Johnston, Paul F. Tompkins and Andy Kindler among others.
