OFFICIAL SELECTION - METHODFEST 2003 |
|
FUGLY Independent Film Superstar- NEIL MATHER (Border to Border, Dinner Time) and the King of Commercials- LARRY DORF (AM/PM, Circuit City) team up with a bunch of other actors you have never heard of in this hilarious, off beat comedy. Just twenty-four hours after marrying the girl of his dreams, Brian (Mather) decides he has done himself and the entire female population a huge disservice. With a bit of bad advice from his best friends David and self-proclaimed lady-killer, J.P. (Dorf) Brian quickly finds himself back in the singles game. Little does he know it is a game he is about to lose. After several weeks of rejection and a one-night stand nightmare with Cha Cha "The Orgasm Woman", Brian realizes that the grass is not so green on the other side. Comedy hits a new level as Brian, J.P. and David devise a not so clever plan to win back his wife. Kent Buchanan (previously a grip) is wildly entertaining as the hypnotist who gives Brian a whole new outlook on women. Will Brian win his sweetheart back? Does David ever stop eating? Will the hypnotist ever put on some pants?! Don’t miss this hysterical comedy that brings non-stop laughs from beginning to end! |

NEIL
MATHER
(Producer,
Writer, Actor)
Neil
Mather's love for filmmaking weren’t so strong he would
probably be the only 30-year-old batboy for the Arizona Diamondbacks. He
grew up in Arizona watching sports and movies. If it wasn’t for being a
fat chub as a young teenager Neil might never have taken a chance as an
actor. After attending the University of Arizona as a theater major he
immediately moved out to Los Angeles in 1992. For the first couple of
years Neil landed small, if you sneeze he’s gone roles in a couple of
big budget films but later moved on to bigger and better parts in movies
that require and advanced search on the Internet. One of these parts was
Neil Pearson in the feature film called Border to Border. After much
success with the film festival circuit Neil decided to write and produce
his own movie. Thousands of hours later and a sucker for punishment Neil
is proud to present an off-beat comedy called Fugly.
NEIL
MATHER
can also be seen in "JAMES
DEAN", "NATIONAL IDENTITY", "DINNER TIME",

LARRY DORF "Time Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, and Rex Reed all agree that (Larry Dorf) is one of the year's best (actors)". A member of the world famous Groundling Theater Sunday Company, Mr. Dorf has recently guest-starred on The X-Files, and 3rd Rock From The Sun. He has also appeared in numerous national commercials such as Budweiser, M &M's, Circuit City, 10-10-220, and Lipton Iced Tea. Perhaps that is why Fortune Magazine says: "(Larry Dorf) is the wealthiest man in (America)".
