Film Riot formally kicked off “Film Riot’s Epic Summer” with the premiere of Ryan Connolly’s new short film, U.F.Oh Yeah. For the project, Connolly has teamed up with Andrew Kramer – renown among the filmmaker community and the creator of Video Copilot; and Seth Worley, who has earned national acclaim for his work with Red Giant Films and such viral indie films as "Plot Device" and the recent sensation, “Old/New” featuring narration by Patton Oswald. The first installment of Film Riot’s Epic Summer, entitled U.F.Oh Yeah, follows Ned Dedry, a conspiracy theorist and Extra-Terrestrial enthusiast, who had always dreamed of making contact with other-worldly visitors. But, when that day finally arrived, things don’t play out the way he’d hoped.
