I tried to tackle this film from 3
different perspectives. 1)Humor and Entertainment Let's face it people
falling down is funny. I wanted to limit dialogue and focus on
visual/prop/typical tried and true clown gags and sound FX. Keeping it
universally funny was important. While talking about my stand up comedy,
http://www.youtube.com/btjofficial said, "I don't know if I should get
off or laugh" Ever since then, that statement has been the foundation of
my comedy shows... so while you're laughing there's two hot chicks to
keep you basically entertained for 5 mins. So for those of you who don't
want to think about any possible message or meaning, and you just want
something to watch mindlessly... You're Welcome ;P 2)Closet gays.
Escaping reality to explore sexuality. Hiding behind a mask becoming
someone else to allow yourself to explore happiness.. and at the end of
the film allowing it into your reality aka coming out of the closet.
3)Judging a book by it's cover: a)This girl is forever single because
she is judged based on job. Publicly she is an entertainer, the world
only knows the character she is on stage. No one knows her without the
costume and make up. Only a co-worker understands. The happy ending
allows them both to dismiss the characters they play on stage and
genuinely find happiness with each other in their real world, sans make
up, costumes etc. b)Eliminating hetero relationships from dominating the
definition love. Sexual identity isn't a factor. Love isn't about
what's in a person's pants but what's in their heart. It's not the
boinking that was important. In this film Love came not from sex, but
from bringing happiness, acceptance and friendship from the characters
they play on stage into reality. I also used an old film cliche were the
character escapes through doors to a fantasy. The main character leaves
her reality - to her fantasy that is played out on stage by clowns.
THEN those clowns escape their reality by going through another door
into their fantasy. (it's like waking up from a dream within a dream)
Reality is just behind the door. The door and what's on the other side
is what pulls them apart. Until of course the happy ending!. HUGE Thank
Yous to the many people who helped me create this. I couldn't have done
it without you!!!! Mad Love Yo xxx
