The Baby Seals present "Attack of the B-Grade Movie"
… It’s comedy improv mania… the terrified monsters, the swooning heroes, the 5 foot femme fatale...
It’s midnight and screenwriter Donald Mayer has just hours to churn out his latest B-grade movie script. Burnt out from the sausage factory that is the Hollywood studio system, Donald is fresh out of ideas and the film’s overdue for production. Caffeine-addicted Donald boldly turns to a theatre audience for inspiration, and he’s so damn desperate that this just might work! Watch in amazement your own story ideas unfold, while a crew of gifted improvisers become the players of Donald’s imagination… the shifty broads, the loose-lipped urchins, the piano-player (optional)… it can only mean one thing: ‘Attack of the B-Grade Movie!’
