Awards and Reviews for
"These Boots are Made for Walken"
"A charming little film with great acting and deft directing!"
- Jim Mathers
President Digital Cinema Society
"A very funny short. Acting is superior for an indie, especially for a short. This film has won awards at several festivals. It has also been a finalist and an official selection at many other festivals including the Cannes Short Film Corner. A little gem.
The plot is interesting. A man whose brother kind of leaves his identity behind and becomes someone else when he gets his heart broken. This particular time, he's "Christopher Walken." Playing the brother who is unlucky in love is Andrew Bowen. He has a long list of TV shows, one being MAD TV where he does a lot of impressions. Christopher Walken is one of them.
Also starring is Daniel Goddard (Benny), the long suffering brother. Daniel has been on The Young and the Restless and a whole slew of other TV shows including Beast Master. Melanie Hawkins (damsel in distress), is the girl Benny meets at the hospital. She has acting credits that go back to 2005, mostly TV shows. Her character laments that her grandmother doesn't talk anymore or dance the flamenco, and is in the mental hospital. The Grandmother is played by Kay D'Arcy who has several credits since 2000. Oh, and then there's Lola. She gets broken out of 'jail.'"
This is Jeremy Pack's first directing credit. He made a great entrance into filmmaking.
Worth your time.
