Let the laughter and love commence thanks to director DAN KARLOK and writer/actor BILL RUTKOSKI and their hilarious slapstick comedy take on one of our most beloved “holidays” with CRAPPY MOTHER’S DAY.
TAKE A LISTEN to this exclusive conversation as Dan and Bill and I dig into the “making of” CRAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, the importance of casting the right “matriarch” and how Vivien Landau fills the bill perfectly, their own family influences on some of the film’s antics, the benefits and challenges of shooting one location and in a very limited amount of time, and so much more. Within seconds of listening to this interview, you’ll understand the comedic genesis of this film. Dan and Bill are hilarious together as creators.
CRAPPY MOTHER’S DAY is the story of three generations of women, and an assortment of other somewhat unusual relatives, who attempt to celebrate a normal Mother’s Day. But what is “normal” remains to be seen. From Planet of the Apes obsessed uncles to a dead grandpa buried in the back yard to sniping friends to a newly engaged daughter filled with trepidation at bringing her fiance to “meet the family”, there is something for everyone. Hilarity and hijinks, laughter and love, and the hope of a sequel!
CRAPPY MOTHER’S DAY stars Kristen Krak, Addison Anderson, Jackie Debatin, Bill Rutkoski, Vivien Landau, John Rutkoski, Mike Rutkoski, Marie Lenzi, Louis Mustillo, Billy Garan, Alexa Rae, Ruya Koman, and Ayala Feinstein.
CRAPPY MOTHER’S DAY is available now On Demand from Uncork’d Entertainment.
