TELL ME SOMETHING I DON’T KNOW
I’d be remiss if I didn’t alert you all that our very own Neal Mulani (writer of many a passionate PS Weekly recommendation) has an incredible short film coming out this summer. The short, TELL ME SOMETHING I DON’T KNOW, is a comedy-thriller with a simple premise: “Cary, a meddling twink, brings his friends to the desert to celebrate his 25th birthday where he requests one gift: for them to tell him everything they hate about him. A reckoning ensues.” It deftly explores the intense social dynamics between Cary and his best friends by interrogating the question of what our closest friends really think about us. The tone is really fresh; it’s gripping and manages to continuously toe the line between thrilling and humorous. Neal leaves you spending the duration of the short second guessing what outlandish (or even violent!) antics Cary will pull next. Following a festival run that’s made stops at Frameline and Palm Springs International ShortFest, TELL ME SOMETHING I DON’T KNOW is finally premiering in Los Angeles next Saturday at The Ford, as part of the Comedy Night program at Outfest’s 40th Annual Film Festival—it’s gonna be a blast and you won’t want to miss it.
