The Mountain Goats - The Young Thousands
There must be diamonds somewhere in a place that stinks this bad
There are brighter things than diamonds coming down the line
Hey, you know what? Sometimes this scene from this just okay movie makes me feel better so get off my case!
Support independent film!AN HONEST PLEA TO SPEND YOUR MONEY
I was an Associate Producer on this movie. Mouncey, my brother, was the Executive Producer on this movie. My sister in law, Elise, was the Director of this movie. We have been working on it in some way, shape, or form for close to three years now. We raised the money to make this movie on our own. We were lucky enough to find a crew that believed in the project and supported the endeavor with vigor and passion. We have managed to navigate the treacherous waters of domestic distribution relatively safely, and have partnered with a fantastic team (Freestyle Releasing) to make the movie as widely available as possible. It has been a long, arduous, and anxiety fueled journey to say the least, but as of January 17th, the film is now in wide release.
Here are some of the reviews which have been honest and mostly complimentary in their appraisal:
“Donner Pass is considerably better than many of its limited-budget brethren … an affection for the old-school practical-gore stalk ‘n’ slice we all know and love … In relation to most of the American “direct-to-video” horror indies that Donner Pass will soon reside next to, it’s actually quite a quiet little winner.”
“Donner Pass is an absolutely startling, thrilling and bloody fun romp … a brisk, nasty, and beautifully shot and crafted horror film.”
“Along with the very beautiful albeit gruesome camera work the movie just has some great production value.”
“Full of unpredictable twists and subplots, this film often left the reviewer thinking: what the hell is going on? This praise is noteworthy.”
HERE’S HOW YOU CAN WATCH/RENT/OWN DONNER PASS:
DVD, Amazon Instant, iTunes, Redbox, Netflix, VOD.
HERE’S WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH/RENT/OWN DONNER PASS:
- You wan to support independent filmmaking.
- You want to support female filmmakers, especially ones that make gory horror movies.
- You want to support my pathetically empty bank account.
- You enjoy watching bratty “teenagers” being eaten alive.
- You’ve been patiently waiting for the perfect genre crossing of slasher x zombies/cannibals.
- We shot on 16mm, on location, and used all in-camera SFX (6 different kinds of blood, pig intestines, etc.)
- John Kassir (The Original Voice of The Crypt Keeper™) is in it.
- You will literally help send my two nieces to college one day.
DO THE RIGHT THING, AMERICA.

The Audition from Mr. Show
If I ever audition for anything I’m doing this.
The perfect sketch.
“Perfect sketch” is exactly correct.
Legally required by the bylaws of the Alternative Comedy Act of 1998 to reblog the “perfect sketch” when it shows up on my Dashboard.
On the first day of sketch writing class, this is one of the sketches they show you because it is the “perfect sketch” (Seriously.)

I remember watching this show as a kid and not really understanding it, I had never seen TV play around with what TV can be and I think it effected the way I think which is pretty cool.
A lot of people stop me on the street and say “Hey Casey, you’re really funny and I like your work, my friend says you are afraid to do political humor though, are you? Also, you’re handsome and your beard is probably going to be great and distinguished when it grows in a bit more!”
Well tell your friend that I’m not afraid to get political!
Political should be afraid to get me.
Eric Wareheim on how he and Tim Heidecker met in film school.
Eerily similar to how things panned out for me at film school.
Well this is the best filmmaker interview I have ever seen.
In case you’re not aware of the #RangoCut situation, here’s an interview with Tim and Eric where they discuss how scenes from the film Rango have been inserted into screenings of Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie at Sundance.
Personally, I think they’re being total crybabies. This is just how Hollywood works. “Rango’d” or not, Tim and Eric should just be happy to be involved with the exciting world of independent film.
