Director Matt Lenski of production house Supply & Demand has released the first in a series of offbeat comedy shorts based on the comic strip The Perry Bible Fellowship (PBF) by cartoonist Nick Gurewitch. Featured in publications such as The Guardian, The New York Press and Maxim, the comic strip branched out online.
Lenski reached out successfully to Gurewitch about the prospects of making a series of short films.
This first short, Carolyn, opens on Mr. Morris, a somewhat disheveled, lonesome art teacher staring blankly at a photograph of his ex girlfriend. A child approaches, holding out a crayon to ask of its color. Mr. Morris takes the crayon, slowly reading its color on the label which is “the color of her hair”–immediately triggering a dramatic breakdown in front of art class. He falls to his knees while sobbing over his lost love.
