Terrorism. War. Lost luggage.
Waiting for a train has never been this exciting.
The search for lost luggage leads to bizarre encounters, diabolical terrorism, and even the key to winning a long-standing civil war in this existential farce which has little to do with the Samuel Beckett play Waiting for Godot. While the others in the Beckett play are just waiting around for him, we learn what has delayed Godot (pronounced Gu-doe. It’s French. Samuel Beckett wrote Waiting for Godot in French, although he was Irish. He later translated it to English. Yes, that is odd).
Rick Stokes delivers the ultimate straight-man performance as the unwitting and unwilling Godot as he bumbles from one encounter to another. With a good dose of Monty Python-esque dialogue and homages to the old school comedy of Jack Benny, the Three Stooges, and Abbott and Costello, this is an independent film that was almost not completed thanks to the weather, a not-so accurate train schedule and that unfortunate bomb scare. 70 minutes, original and classic songs, suitable for general audiences. Written by M. Thomas Cooper. Directed and Produced by Greg Kerr. Stars Portland actors Rick Stokes as Godot, Shawn Cates as The Porter, Steve Coker as Constable Burl, and Molly Stack as Christine Aruba-Orleans.
DVD includes the 20 minute short film, Godot Outtakes or How Not to Make an Independent Film which follows the feature. (contains adult language)
Premiered in Portland, Oregon at Hollywood Theatre on November 26, 2004.
A stranger visits a small, Northwest town to learn about the mayor who the townspeople revere. What she finds is far from typical: in their schools they teach their children an invented language instead of English, a Good Humor man drives by and delivers puppies to all the kids instead of ice cream, and all the townspeople are required to work on some gigantic building project in a nearby field.
When she finally meets the mayor, she learns a disturbing secret. And then he learns a few secrets about her, too.
The Puppy Man is a dark, dark comedy short with original music and an all Portland cast and crew. 35 minutes.
