Dumbworld Video and Film Productions to world premiere the short film, King of Funk as part of the 10X10 Challenge program of the Sacramento Film and Music Festival

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

Sacramento, California, USA – At the beautiful and historic Crest Theatre, August 16th at 7:30pmDumbworld is proud to present the short film King of Funk.

 

King of Funk is a dark comedy starring Hollywood-bound Joey Sab, as the music superstar Chucky Funk (formerly Charles David Smith).  The year is 1973, and Charles finds a magical ring of funk that promises the owner fame and fortune, but for the owner of the ring—beware—you dig?

 

The film was created (from script to screen) in 10 days as part of the 10X10 Challenge of the Sacramento Film and Music Festival and was shot mostly in Folsom, California.  The 10X10 challenge gives filmmakers a theme (this year it was “rings”), a prop (Dumbworld’s prop was a retro red suitcase) and 10 days to make a film.

 

The film also stars Folsom native Emily Jones as Scarlett and was produced in conjunction with another Folsom native, Laura Chick of Chick Flick Productions.

As part of the 10X10 film challenge, we wrote, directed, edited and with the help of Chick Flick Productions produced a 10 minute short for the Sacramento Film and Music Festival.  The gist of the story is, it is the early 70′s and a man finds what you could call the magical ring of funk.  The ring brings him fame and fortune, but for the owner of the ring, beware.  The main characters name is Chucky Funk, and above is the album cover for his first record.

The film is showing Saturday August 16th at 7:30 pm at the Crest theatre in downtown Sacramento.  You can go here for more info on the festival.
