Mpls/St. Paul Film Festival

So, this weekend I was invited to the Mpls/st. paul film festival by my friend Karen (below). Her friend Travis was showing his film LO.
Honestly, by the trailer I was a bit skeptical...it looked scary. I'm not into "scary" usually. Turns out-it wasn't scary at all. It was HILARIOUS. Dancing demons, smoking, swearing, laughing, outlandish costumes, and great makeup! All done on a shoe-string budget. And I mean shoestring...I've had promo budgets bigger at 'CCO, honestly. I was so impressed by what the director Travis Betz pulled off, in such a short amount of time (6 shooting days) and literally no cash.
Long story short-see this film. You will laugh hysterically. It's the little things that make you chuckle. For instance, one of the demons scares the lead (played by Ward-nice dude)...then turns around with a cigarette and says, "Aight...now, clean the sh!t outta your pants man. hahaa." So unexpected, and funny.
Anyway, here are the links for two different trailers. See this film if you have a chance.
