Have you ever wondered what would happen if the words "moose" and "cock" were to suddenly come together to form a new word? This hard-hitting short film probes the possibilities.

An Instant Classic. Saw this in San Francisco and loved it. If "Moosecock" isn't the greatest short film ever made, it's at least the greatest short that involves sewing a "unit" to a cow costume. Look out for these guys in the comedy thrones of tomorrow. Through a "short film within a short film" narrative, Will and his team have crafted a tale of artistic passion and heartache. I couldn't help seeing the influence of the classic film "Amadeus" displayed all through the story arc. In fact, this film was like Amadeus, the works of William Shakespeare and the Holy Bible all rolled into one (with some Kafka sprinkled in for good measure). Can't wait for the sequel "Yak Dong" which I hear stars Meryl Streep and Kenneth Branaugh. In all seriousness, if you get a chance to see this clever little masterpiece, do.

I just discovered that I LOVES me some Moosecock! Saw this short film at Big Bear Lake Intl. Film Fest (an appropriate woodsy local for Moosecock), and had a ball with it (oh boy, here come the puns). No, seriously, like moose cock, comedy IS hard, but Mr. Hartman makes this hilarious satire on "the making of" a Hollywood blockbuster look easy. And he packs in the laughs. There's a wonderfully timed and subtly played setup to this romp (with perfect dialogue), which totally had me going, until that damned Moosecock spun me in a very unexpected direction. I have to admit it; it felt good. YOU should definitely open your mind to the persuasive charms of Moosecock.

We've seen a lot of short films and this one was absolutely hilarious. If the Title does not show that these guys have a sense of humor then, nothing will. Comedy is hard to do and most of the time we don't think it is well done but the punch line in the opening scene is remarkable. Mark and Brian who do a morning radio show that we listen to started talking about the movie and could not stop mentioning it. Maybe they wanted to say "Moosecock" and lets face it, who doesn't! What we can tell you that this film left us and the audience we saw it with in stitches. The film was well executed and technically well done. Check it out and remember whenever there is a low in the conversation just say "Moosecock" and you are sure to get a laugh...Moosecock!

Now that's comedy! "You gotta feel it deep inside you!" Could be the next next "I see dead people." There were several laugh out loud moments that had the whole theater going. Funny, funny stuff. Nice editing, seemed like it had an original score. Nice touches here and there, like the posters in the background. Only thing I'd say is I wish the two guys in the opening had more scenes together, they are really dynamic together. Would like to know how much of what they did was scripted or improv because there was some great nuance there that showed somebody's talent, whether it was the actors or the director. But it's good writing, regardless. I look forward to the sequel--Mule Shlong. Or maybe Moosecock II: Still Hangin?
