The Plight of Clownana Trailers

Ishamel is the Clownana, a dancing half-clown, half-banana store mascot. Life is great until the nearby porn store gets its own mascot and Ishamel is left wondering what his life is all about - oh, that and there is a not-to-be-missed dance-off.

"The Plight of Clownana "is the funniest short film I've ever seen! It is very original and the voice over and music are both right on throughout! I mean, not only is there a clown/banana hybrid, but a "Dildo Man?" It is too funny to properly put into words. I was extremely impressed with this given that it's an independent, short film. I was giggling through every moment of this hilarity!!!! Since I've watched this, I've been sharing this film with many of my friends, who share the same opinion as me -- they laughed for the entire 16 minutes.I really hope to see more from the writer, director and producer.Thanks, Lindsay

this short is as HILARIOUS and i've shown it to everyone i know and they've shown it to everyone they know and so on and so on. if you don't laugh while watching this at least 12 times then you must be dead inside. the narration, characters, costumes, script, etc. is spot on. the entire film is completely original, but there is one scene in particular that i guarantee you have never and will never see in any other movie. check this movie out!! i didn't personally recognize any of the cast members but apparently, based on some of the other comments i read, there are some well knowns in the plight of clownana, at least in cameo roles. i've tried to explain the plot to people who haven't seen it before, and maybe it's just my explanation, but it doesn't always translate well, so just do yourself a favor and watch the plight of clownana.

After my recently developed Jensen Ackles obsession I reviewed his IMDb profile and discovered this little treat.With its wonderfully convenient showing on the official website I didn't have to wait.This little ditty is exceedingly funny. It very independent film style but I think the uniqueness of it story line would appeal to everyone.Its definitely worth a look and as its not that long you should be able to get a quick laugh out of it. It certainly brightened up my very boring morning at work.In my opinion it would make a great skit scene at the begin of a movie (kind of like the ones on kid's movies) but would have to be at least PG-13.

If you are from the planet Earth, and you do not see this movie, then you should be from some other planet, like Pluto...far far away from cool people. However if you are from the planet Earth, and you HAVE seen this movie...then shame on you for wasting time reading this when you could be telling others about the joy of the Clownana. Honestly, the film is just a joy to watch. I actually viewed it at the Arclight in Holllywood, California, and was very surprised with everything about it, from the directing, to the acting, to the voice over narration, to the very idea and storyline of the film. I do not want to give away some of the films bigger surprises, but if at all possible, I absolutely recommend seeing this film...which should be possible. Just google the title and go to the website. At the end of the day, a great film for a great time!
